Taken together with Alexander's comment that he did manage to send Russian in Shift_JIS (I somehow do not think Alexander used Solaris for that, though; neither have I any clue if the receiving end grokked that), perhaps the patch is useless. Even though I do not think if any Russian writes in KOI8-R and converts to Shift_JIS on purpose, converting eucJP directly to SJIS is something Japanese people who are on UNIX do quite often, or at least used to before everybody moved to UTF-8. Perhaps we should instead optionally help platform's iconv(3), when it cannot convert A to B directly, by pivoting the conversion on UTF-8 (i.e. A -> UTF-8 -> B)? That would probably help the real world use cases while fixing the issue with this test script. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
