Item11975: Unable to checkout (BuildContrib) from subversion to a case insensitive filesystem

Checkout of BuildContrib fails on my OSX box due to the fact, that we have a pod.pm and a POD.pm in the same directory. (/lib/Foswiki/Contrib/BuildContrib/Targets/)

Unfortunately there are filesystems out there, which are not case sensitive (or at least not by default) like Apple's HFS+.

Do we have a file-naming convention? Do we want to support such filesystems?

Case insensitive file systems are so 1980's.

We don't have a file naming convention. I guess you can define one.

I added a target_pod function to Build.pm, and removed pod.pm

Thanks alot.

Closing this - pod.pm is gone, no other feedback, and BuildContrib has been released.
