Ticket #29563 (closed defect: fixed)

Opened 2 years ago

convmv @1.14_0 renaming deletes files

Reported by: gabor.papp@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: haspatch Cc: ryandesign@…
Port: convmv

Description 

convmv --lower --notest --replace FILE

deletes 'FILE' instead of renaming it to 'file'. I believe this is because convmv overwrites files by deleting the output file first, then renaming the input. This can cause problems on case-insensitive file systems. The attached simple patch removes file deletion before renaming.

Can you please report this to the developer of convmv?

comment:2 Changed 2 years ago by gabor.papp@…

I have reported it, although it's an OS X specific problem, since the linux filesystem is case-sensitive by default.
