Subject: dircolors: Please match extensions case-insensitively
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:25:12 -0700
Package: coreutils
Version: 7.5-6
Severity: normal

I occasionally download a file and find that it has an extension like
..AVI or .MP4.  dircolors only matches the lowercase extensions, so these
files don't get colored like other media files.  Please match file
extensions case-insensitively.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
