Using case-sensitivity for SRC_URI and case-insensitivity for dependencies? Well I think in this case you must write an case insensitive bash parser. :-) Mac OS's fs allows other things like storing multiple files under the same name. I read an article about the MacOS X development and problems the developers had with the port. Unfortunately I don't find it. I hope this is theory for now. achim~ > > -- > Daniel Robbins > President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org > Gentoo Technologies, Inc. > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://www.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
