# Perforce Workshop Jobs
#
#  Job:           The job name. 'new' generates a sequenced job number.
#
#  Status:        Job status; required field.  There is no enforced or
#                 promoted workflow for transition of jobs from one
#                 status to another, just a set of job status values
#                 for users to apply as they see fit.  Possible values:
#
#                 open - Issue is available to be worked on.
#
#                 inprogress - Active development is in progress.
#
#                 blocked - Issue cannot be implemented for some reason.
#
#                 fixed - Fixed, optional status to use before closed.
#                 
#                 closed - Issue has been dealt with definitively.
#
#                 punted - Decision made not to address the issue,
#                    possibly not ever.
#
#                 suspended - Decision made not to address the issue
#                    in the immediate future, but noting that it may
#                    have some merit and may be revisited later.
#
#                 duplicate - Duplicate of another issue that.
#
#                 obsolete - The need behind the request has become
#                    overcome by events.

Job:	SDP-264

Description:
	CASE_SENSITIVE=1 setting in mkdirs.cfg is ignored in OSX.
	
	The UNIX SDP uses a symlink for 'p4d' if CASE_SENSITIVE=1,
	or else a tiny wrapper script if CASE_SENSITIVE=0 that
	passes in the '-C1' flag to p4d, along with other args.
	
	This produces the desired result on UNIX/Linux systems,
	which are inherently case-sensitive.
	
	When run on Mac, however, the symlink is used, which
	result in a case-insensitive server on Mac.  While
	this may be preferable as that is the default, but it
	may be confusing the CASE_SENSTIIVE setting is simply
	ignored.
	
	Fixing this may entail just a doc change or a comment
	in mkdirs.cfg to indicate that CASE_SENSITIVE setting
	is ignored on OSX.  That's fine since OSX isn't an
	officially supported platform for the SDP, despite
	it commonly being used for testing.
