Rename second chapter id (1.06 KB, patch)

Description Ryan Schmidt 2016-09-30 09:42:47 UTC 
Hello, I'm a developer with the MacPorts package management system.

atk 2.22.0 tries to install two files whose names differ only by case. When --prefix=/opt/local those files are:

/opt/local/share/gtk-doc/html/atk/AtkObject.html
/opt/local/share/gtk-doc/html/atk/atkobject.html

This assumes the filesystem is case-sensitive. When the filesystem is case-insensitive, as it is by default on every version of the Mac operating system, only one of those two files can exist.

This can cause problems in some scenarios. We haven't yet completely identified the specifics of the scenario, but it was reported to MacPorts here:

Rename second chapter id

This should fix the issue. In any case, would you mind to test it, in case there are any other overlap.

Thanks.

Thanks, that works. These two files were the only case collision in 2.22.0.

Thanks for testing, and sorry very much for forgetting about this issue. The patch is now on master. It will be included on next atk release.
