The changes are proposed in order to avoid file name clashes on filesystems that do not allow two files to have names that differ only in the case of their letters: include/linux/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.h => xt_connmark_target.h include/linux/netfilter/xt_DSCP.h => xt_dscp_target.h include/linux/netfilter/xt_MARK.h => xt_mark_target.h include/linux/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.h => xt_rateest_target.h include/linux/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.h => xt_tcpmss_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_CONNMARK.h => ipt_connmark_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_DSCP.h => ipt_dscp_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ECN.h => ipt_ecn_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_MARK.h => ipt_mark_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_TCPMSS.h => ipt_tcpmss_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_TOS.h => ipt_tos_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_TTL.h => ipt_ttl_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_HL.h => ip6t_hl_target.h include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_MARK.h => ip6t_mark_target.h net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ECN.c => ipt_ecn_target.c net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_TTL.c => ipt_ttl_target.c net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_HL.c => ip6t_hl_target.c net/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.c => xt_connmark_target.c net/netfilter/xt_DSCP.c => xt_dscp_target.c net/netfilter/xt_MARK.c => xt_mark_target.c net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c => xt_rateest_target.c net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c => xt_tcpmss_target.c This has been discussed before on the git mailing list (see thread http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/38612 ), and I believe it to be a problem that will start to crop up more often than not, given the proliferation of open source code onto a variety of platforms that have this type of filename intolerance. The reason for posting to this list is to hear your considered opinion on the impact of these proposed file name changes on the netfilter and linux kernel development communities. If you prefer I submit complete patches before discussion, I could try to do that. -- Peter Klavins
