Christoph Gohlke <cgoh...@uci.edu> added the comment: A slightly different patch is attached to issue7639, which generates short names more similar to Windows/NTFS: http://bugs.python.org/file15898/msilib_make_short.diff
Here are some short names created with the msilib_make_short patch, which are identical to the short names created by the Windows NTFS file system: foo.txt -> FOO.TXT foo.2.txt -> FOO2~1.TXT someLongName.txt -> SOMELO~1.TXT someLongerName.txt -> SOMELO~2.TXT For comparison, the msilib-2 patch generates these short names: foo.txt -> FOO.TXT foo.2.txt -> FOO.2.TXT <- different from NTFS someLongName.txt -> SOMELO~1.TXT someLongerName.txt -> SOMELO~2.TXT ---------- nosy: +cgohlke _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1128> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
