Bug#603914: Please drop non-UTF8 locales
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA384
Hi!
Fun to be reading this. Me like ;-)
Anyway. With my Debian hat on, the C/POSIX locales must not use
UTF-8 as encoding, because otherwise, all kind of hell breaks
loose (consider running 'tr u x' on a binary or other legacy
encoded text file, and tr is just an example). There are plans
for C.UTF-8 though, and I’m a bit ashamed at having slacked off
there…
In MirBSD, I added a ‘-l’ command line option to script(1) to
do the encoding for latin1-based terminals. This might just do
the trick. If desired, I’ll prepare a patch against Debian’s.
bye,

what about xfs, and if only i had waited until reiser4 was ready... in the be-

was still ffs, and the sys admins knew it was good. :) -- Ted Unangst über *fs
