Summary: wrong coding https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=175459 ------- Additional Comments From jpazdziora@xxxxxxxxxx 2008-03-13 05:04 EST ------- (In reply to comment #10) > But wait a moment ... what is /etc/sysconfig/i18n for?

Locale is a run-time thing. File encoding (character set) is a persistent thing. You can have two programs running, processing the same file, with different locales. RHEL and Fedora assumes UTF-8 in files for quite some time. The main reason is that with regular text files, you have no way of specifying the encoding / character set for files. > But the problem isn't with with your conversion ... it is with a silly piece of > code in nroff script which generates an "XXX WARNING:..." which doesn't even go > to stderr. Alright. So is the problem with nroff? Let's update the component to groff because this bugzilla is clearly filed under wrong one (perl), and I believe that this is part of the misunderstanding. > But I have to say that the nroff conversion is terrible code.

Out of curiosity -- how do you specify input language in a text file? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl Fedora-perl-devel-list mailing list Fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-perl-devel-list
