Well, an acute accent probably is not much of a problem for French folks, but ... would you think the same wrt. non ASCII-chars of other languages? At least I would be facing the such issues, if packages names (or worse applicaition) were named in East European, Middle and Far East charsets. I would not be able find them on my keyboard. I also would be likely not to be able in GUI tools because I would not have the fonts installed. > The GUI tools do not care, and the package provides an > ascii-7 name alias for CLI users. These aren't of help, when e.g. ftp'ing a package. The converse would be applicable: ASCII-file/package-name, utf-8-provides. -- 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
