--- Comment #9 from Dinar Valeev dvaleev@novell.com 2010-05-09 23:25:33 UTC --- @Philipp Chances to push this patch to upstream is very small or even not possible at all. Other distributions tried to accomplish that without success.
The upstream statement is: The trend in IT is to use UTF8. That's why patch is not accepted.
Then why we can't accept this patch as openSUSE specific to close such annoying bug? And maintain it until good time comes. openSUSE maintain a numbers of specific patches for rpm, OpenOffice.org
If you won't maintain patch, please let community to do it. The patch is small. It introduces new header and changes few strings of main code.
We tested patched unzip for two-three months and it just works. Also we got positive feedback on Czech and Slovak in addition to Russian language. It also pretty applicable on latest 6.0 unzip version.
