[wpkg-users] Check conditions type uninstall

[Jens Geile]

Hi,

over the past couple of days I've been writing packages like mad and again and again I had the problem that the check condition of type "uninstall" matches case-sensitive. This isn't really a big problem but how about changing it to case-insensitive matching? I really doubt there are two software products that have the same name but differ in the way they are written, e.g. "Microsoft Office" and "MicroSoft Office" or whatever.

The thing is that I usually know what I have to check for in the software menu but I dont know the exact way it is written, or I simply typo it using a small instead of a capital letter somewhere. This always means that I have to check and double-check for any such errors if the package installs fine but fails to verify the installation.

In the past there was a request for "Profiles/Package ID's are Case Sensitive" (http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81) where in the end we got a new switch for config.xml. Maybe a switch like this would be another option instead of hardcoding the case-insensitiveness.

Thanks in advance,
