fluxbox
Hi!
There's the following problem with the fluxbox package.
The locale in the etch distributive ia already set into UTF-8 as
default. Fluxbox has been maintaining UTF-8 for a long time.
From July in experimental/ there had been 0.9.15version with
full maintaining of UTF-8.
But in spite of the sent bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=397482
maintainer shows no sign of life and doesn't pay attention on
personal messages.
It will be a shame if fluxbox is added into Etch without maintaining of
UTF-8 only because of maintainer's laziness.
What can be done?
I see two variants there:
1. to write a patch for maintaining UTF-8 in that version (i.e. in
testing, but I can do this only for Russian language, and this work
seems having no future to me)
2. to move fluxbox from experimental into unstable/testing without
maintainer's taking part in it
The latter variant isn't nice but it is desirable to solve this problem
the sooner the better.
Please advise what to do.
