Some of the files in the ERC package installed in the Emacs CVS tree
have names that are not unique in the first 8+3 characters. DOSCHK
found the following clashes:
The following resolve to the same DOS file names:
CHANGELO.200 : ./lisp/erc/ChangeLog.2001
./lisp/erc/ChangeLog.2002
./lisp/erc/ChangeLog.2003
./lisp/erc/ChangeLog.2004
./lisp/erc/ChangeLog.2005
ERC-AUTO.EL : ./lisp/erc/erc-autoaway.el
./lisp/erc/erc-autojoin.el
ERC-COMP.EL : ./lisp/erc/erc-compat.el
./lisp/erc/erc-complete.el
ERC-NETS.EL : ./lisp/erc/erc-nets.el
./lisp/erc/erc-netsplit.el
ERC-NICK.EL : ./lisp/erc/erc-nicklist.el
./lisp/erc/erc-nickserv.el
This makes unpacking the Emacs tarball on 8+3 filesystems a pain. Can
the offending files be renamed somehow? (For ChangeLog.* files I'd
suggest ChangeLog.01, ChangeLog.02 etc.)
TIA

Do people really still run 8+3-only filesystems (discounting things
like floppies)?

The MS-DOS port is still supported, and I don't see any reason to drop
it just because a bunch of new files were added.
Btw, even if no one uses plain DOS anymore, files that clash in the
8+3 namespace are trouble on some versions of Windows, due to bugs in
the MS algorithm that generates the 8+3 aliases. See, for example,
the thread "Re: `rename-file' with leading spaces in filename" earlier
this year.

If it is still useful, certainly not.
But is it still useful?

I had a bug report from its user not long ago, so it sounds like it is
still being used.

Just one user who cared to send a bug report.

I don't know whether the others have access;
can you rename the files yourself?

Sure, I can; I just wanted to hear suggestions for file names from the
maintainers, and perhaps any caveats that I could hit if I rename
naively.

I'll do the renaming after getting some consensus from the ERC mailing
list. Please let me take care of it.
Thanks for reporting this.

A fix is being tested upstream, and will make its way to Emacs later
today after further testing.
