Hi, just downloaded the "html-compressed" version of elisp manual. Trying
to extract got a filename conflict - the "main" html index and the
"document" index are both named "index" (in different case) and my zip app
(7-zip) doesn't like it :(
Tnx,
Nir

I assume this is on MS Windows? Apparently, it can optionally do
case-sensitive directories since Windows 10 of April 2018, so maybe look
into that.
Apparently there is a makeinfo html output option controlled by
CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAMES that could be turned on to handle this, but
it sounds like it would make things worse for case sensitive systems (by
having two pages in the same file but separated by anchors). And I'm not
sure what version of texinfo added it (it doesn't seem to be in 4.13).

Ah, yes, of course, I should've mentioned - Win7. I supposed there are
workarounds, but it's somewhat of an overkill to mess with settings for my
whole system to fix this one issue, isn't it? I thought they should
consider making the filenames case-insensitively unique, or I'll just
modify one of the filenames locally.
Tnx anyway.

For the record: at some point in the past, Texinfo behaved as you
wish. I added code to makeinfo to do that, with the-then maintainer's
encouragement. Then the code to do that was removed when makeinfo was
rewritten in Perl. So now you will have to edit the files to rewrite
manually some of the links, because making your filesystem
case-sensitive on Windows is definitely something I would only
recommend to someone who is looking for some "interesting" time to
have.

The Windows 10 feature I mentioned can apparently be controlled on a
per-folder basis; see eg
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-ntfs-treat-folders-case-sensitive-windows-10
Obviously it doesn't help you stuck on Windows 7.

They is me, as in I uploaded that tar file. As I explained in my
original reply, while it can be changed, personally I'm not inclined to
bother.

Great, I'll close this as wontfix on the Emacs side then.

It's a side issue, but would you please avoid calling
Windows a "win"? It is a term of praise.
