Hello, I contact you because you seem to be (one of the) packager(s) of lm_sensors for Red Hat. We came across an issue you seem to have solved in your package version 2.6.5-2. I'm actually refering to this: * Fri Nov 29 2002 Phil Knirsch <pknirsch at redhat.com> 2.6.5-2 - Added patch to fix utf8 problem with sensors-detect. Though we all agree there was a problem, and the patch solves it, there's a question I'd like to ask: what makes you think the issue (for reminder, a misuse of pack("C", $value);) is related to UTF? Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
