What's asking for trouble is continuing to ignore UTF-8 handling problems in low-level rpm tools. All our software stack has been moving to UTF-8 for years, and in fact our upper package management layers (comps...) already use XML (which default encoding is UTF-8) pervasively. As far as I know there is *no* way to restrict XML to a 7-bit encoding like ASCII, and even if it were it's probably not supported by one or several of the XML libs we use, since it's not a common need. And if you start using 8-bit encodings UTF-8 is the only one everyone agrees on. > b) It is user unfriendly: You can't expect people to be able to type "arbitrary > exotic characters" on their keyboard. This is not a problem. The GUI tools do not care, and the package provides an ascii-7 name alias for CLI users. -- 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-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
