Personally I think the "uppercase path" argument isn't the one to make.
Nor do I, I think "regression" ought to suffice, but it hasn't with the maintainer so far.
Have you filed a defect report for screen too?
No, I don't think I've ever used screen.
Screen does somethng like cron too. And I'm sure the authors will have a good reason to do so.
I'm sure they do, but has it's behaviour changed?
And such a change is not allowed? If they have a good reason such a change must be possible.
cron has used lowercase at least since SuSE Linux 7.x, then it was changed to uppercase in openSUSE 11.4. cron in SLE uses lowercase too.
You can't compare openSUSE with SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE). BTW which version you talk about and which Service Pack (SP) level? SLE 11 and all later SPs have a base close to openSUSE 11.1. Check this version and check which cron had been part of this. Then go from version to version and compare the change logs of the included cron package. If you see a defect go with it to the upstream issue tracker and report the URL to the mailing list archive or the issue tracker back to this list. This is not a SUSE issue. This is a cron issue you should report to the cron developers. That Debian reverted the change is no argument. Read the defect report. There are no arguments in the report. There is only the patch to revert the behavior to the previous one. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
