CVS CheckOut - Mac OS X - Build Broken

 
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi CVS Developers,

I'm writing this list because the Bug-CVS list appears
to be down at this time and I'd like to get this issue
out before I forget the details.

Builds on Mac OS X fail after a "cvs checkout" because:

1. The "cvs checkout" command creates "CVS" directories.

2. The Mac OS X file system is case insensitive.

3. The "src" make begins with "rm -f cvs" which fails
   because "CVS" is a directory.

I builds by using "cvs export" which works around the
problem.

Currently CVS development from a CVS working directory
on Mac OS X isn't possible.

The questions I pose are:

Is fixing the build for just this platform worthwhile?

Does the current CVS code base deal gracefully with
case insensitive UNIX file systems?

Best regards,

Conrad Pino
