Hi folks,

Linux man pages 6.03 has been released.
I realized that some of the man pages are case sensitive e.g. _[Ee]xit.2, {NAN,nan}.3, perhaps others. I took care of my own system using commands like below, but would appreciate advice on whether there is any better portable or Cygwin specific approach, and what are the opinions on the best way to handle this in the cygport for download and install? Is this supported by Cygwin on Windows 10 versions >= [20]18-03 with the directory attribute set, are there likely to be any problems with git, or in general with POSIX<->Windows file names?

$ cd /usr/share/man/linux/
$ for s in man?; do fsutil file setCaseSensitiveInfo $s; done
Case sensitive attribute on directory ...\usr\share\man\linux\man1 is enabled.
