Subject: man-pages-linux needs case sensitive directories
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2023 00:11:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0e730b68-f661-ba13-9020-acce69932067@Shaw.ca> (raw)

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
