https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308204#c4 --- Comment #4 from Mike Fabian 2007-09-06 09:20:46 MST --- To fix this, I suggest: - Use UTF-8 always in the PDB for all texts which end up in an rpm .spec file. - assume that an rpm .spec file is *always* UTF-8 encoded That would already make it work for everybody who is sane enough to stay with UTF-8 locales which are the default in SuSE Linux for several years already. If we really want to make this work for legacy locales as well, it still helps if we can be sure that these texts in the .spec files and the rpm database are *always* UTF-8, that makes it easy to convert to the encoding of the current locale if necessary. Sometimes, it might not be possible to convert the text back to a certain legacy locale of course. For example, if you have a Japanese author name and are running in de_DE@euro locale, converting the Japanese name to ISO-8859-15 encoding won’t work. But I think it is acceptable to see boxes in such weird corner cases, you cannot expect to see Japanese when running such a legacy locale anyway. Therefore, I think using UTF-8 consistently in the PDB and the .spec files is the way to go. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
