There's another problem with the new FileName::renameTo() method.
The old rename() method was basically equivalent to move:
bool rename(FileName const & from, FileName const & to)
{
if (::rename(from.toFilesystemEncoding().c_str(),
to.toFilesystemEncoding().c_str()) != -1)
return true;
if (!copy(from, to))
return false;
from.removeFile();
return true;
}
while the new renameTo() is not. As a consequence, the clean_dvi.py
script fails to overwrite the "draft" dvi file produced by latex
with the cleaned up version, because it tries to rename the .out file
it creates as the existing .dvi file (which QFile::rename cannot do).
