Also consider that package names define the file set that is to bemirrored and you thus need to assume that all mirrors properly support utf on their filesystems and their ftp/web/rsync servers. If not you end up with changed package names on their way to the consumer and non reproducable bug reports about yum not finding packages (as the metadata will contain the proper UTF8 name while the filesystem may present another). So it's not about UTF8 deficiencies in any Fedora component, but rather the (non) globality of UTF8. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
