            Bug ID: 16195
           Summary: Thunar name change for package and folder will cause
                    automated build systems to break
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: aliakc at web.de
  Target Milestone: 1.8.10

Hello,

I would like to ask whether the silent name change for Thunar was intended or
only a mistake.

I detected our automated build system failed building Thunar because the
filename for the release tar got altered from capital to lowercase letters as
well as the folder that it generates also changed capitalization from capital
to lowercase leters.

I would like to note, that this change may cause automated build envronments
for most major distributions to fail building these packages because:

a) they can't find the names anymore (capital lowercase changes) = this could
be an easy fix in these automated environments
b) that all capital references in *.spec files as well as debian automated
builds, arch and so on that got named inside these "build" files needs to be
altered as well.

this leads to

3) There may be a big naming conflict in packages for released packages (rpm or
deb) where "Thunar" packages needs to be removed and then replaced by "thunar"
packages. Capital vs. lowercase.
