Although I fully agree with Daniel that blindly converting text-ish files which actually specify an encoding in their headers is both wrong and dangerous as that actually breaks stuff, normal text files, esp. ones in %doc should be in UTF-8, so that when opened they display correctly. Indeed the changelog is a perfect example of why all plain text files must be UTF-8, had it always been UTF-8 the problems between part being in west-european encoding and parts in east-european encoding would not exist. Also I think its worth noting that Fedora is not the only distro doing this, Debian for example also tries to have all text files in the distro in UTF-8. Now I can understand when Daniel says that he has higher priority things to fix. So Daniel, as upstream, will you take a patch changing the encoding of all files which end up in %doc, which changes them to UTF-8? and even fix the changelog to be UTF-8 (split it in pieces, iconv pieces, put back together) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
