When doing pkgsrc update using cvs I noticed that some of the messages
come up every time. Detail output attached. The thing is that there
are some renaming happened in the archive, but they look untouched.
For instance, in the log it says net/Transmission is not longer
available and then marked net/transmission up-to-date. What happens is
that net/Transmission is still there.

I then realized this may be related to the fact that Mac OS X uses
case-insensitive file system by default. And currently there is not
other issue related shows up yet. Just wonder is there a way to handle
this situation?


How about to remove troubled directories manually and update?

Tried that. And surprising the newly created directories are still in the
wrong case, and the same update messages are still there.

and remove related entries from CVS/Entries too?

Just tried this and still no luck. The newly created folder is still
in old cases, and a second run will regenerate entries in CVS/Entries.

Yup run into this before. You can fix it by pulling a new tree into a new directory structure. Don't reuse the old one and thank Apple for the case-insensitive file system. (of course they did it for backwards classic compatibility)
