[aur-general] [pacman][Feature Request] make pacman case-insensitive.
Hello, all: When we run "pacman -S Firefox", we will get "error: target not found: Firefox" because there is only firefox, not Firefox, in repo. IMHO it could be better if pacman is case insensitive. Regards, Mizuchi

Pardon? This is already the case: $ pacman -Ssq FIREFOX | wc -l 184 Sure enough, we use case insensitive regex. From lib/libalpm/db.c: if(regcomp(®, targ, REG_EXTENDED | REG_NOSUB | REG_ICASE | REG_NEWLINE) != 0) { ... Please make sure pacman isn't an alias or wrapper to some other program that isn't pacman.

Are you sure? $ sudo pacman -S Firefox error: target not found: Firefox $ type -a pacman pacman is /usr/bin/pacman

pacman -Ss seems to be case insensitive, however -S, -Q aren't

Oh. No, -S and -R are not. This is intentional and will not be changed.
Hello, Try pacman -R FIREFOX and pacman -R firefox In this case, it is case sensitive. But: pacman -Ss FIREFOX This is case-insensitive. Please do not make pacman -S(R) case-insensitive. I don't like the idea, because the next "feature" would be case-insensitive paths. nobody44 On 12.10.2012 14:47, Dave Reisner wrote:

Wrong list, it has nothing to do with AUR. Try posting to pacman-dev.
