It was certainly the right thing as far as I am aware. Adrian, perhaps
you might include this patch amongst yours?
it's already in my current, unavailable snaphost. that snapshot has a
few tweaks to improve solaris support. i'll probably make it available
after i've added in my opendir/readdir/closedir version of
case-insensitive file comparisons.
actually, i would really like some data on the standard size of
people's directories and the machines they're running on. currently,
the only way of properly doing case-insensitive lookups that i can
think of is to actually read the directories, making it an O(n)
operation. bleah. that can be sped up somewhat for future directory
reads by maintaining a hashed list or something. however, that's only
a win if you can be sure that the files won't do something unexpected
under you. i don't think we can make that guarantee with
netatalk. ideas anyone?
