Oops...
The example of such an unicode name used is "écolier-fonts" .
Then consider any user in non-latin1 locale. For example, my locale is
Russian. I have no "é" on my keyboard...
An ascii-only alias is provided in the spec file
You mean "Provides: foobar" ?
I mean I cannot operate with such a filename (with foreign sumbols) in
my local copy of the Fedora repository. As well as a sysadmin of the
primary Fedora sites cannot operate with such filenames, when people
from "another World" (non Latin1 only) start to add their native-named
packages into the common Fedora repo.
(Surely if you are not going to deprecate all non-latin language for
this usage of unicode).
I prefer "Provides(de): foobar" etc., as for "Summary" or
"%description". Maybe even:
Name: foobar
Name(de): foobar
Name(ru): фубар
but the RPM filename should be named by the primary "C locale" name.
IMO all ideas here should follow the spirit of gettext(3) (LANG,
LC_MESSAGES, etc.etc.etc)
