I sense a mis-understanding: I do not want upstreams to change their tarball-names nor to ban packages from Fedora because their upstream names are non-ascii. I want to see the file names of rpms in Fedora to be restricted 7bit-ascii. E.g. to mandate the rpms being built from écollier-fonts.tar.gz to be named "ecollier-fonts-*.rpm" and not "écollier-fonts-*.rpm" Ralf -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
