I second what Alex says; I would even go further: If the packages must be installed on the same flavor of file [in-]sensitivity as where it was built, it is broken. My case: I have /sw/src/fink.build on a case-sensitive disk image, in order to catch build errors on such systems. But the rest of /sw, where the package will be installed, is on a case-insensitive file system. As long as the HFS+ standard is case-insensitive, we have to make sure that packages don't (try to) build files with names that differ only by case. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
