As it stands I've been told by various people that they have no interest in ensuring that their commits are UTF-8 safe (even if there's an automated check that warns them when they're about to break something), and I don't consider it fair to force lots of repoman warnings upon other developers who *do* care about that kind of thing who just happen to be the next person to touch a package that got broken. *shrug* So, if you want to be nice and use UTF-8, please do so. CVS is fine with it. Chances are whoever writes the CVS -> changelog tool will get it wrong with text wrapping at least once, but it's easy enough to fix. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Wed__17_Aug_2005_00_38_42_+0100_+9/dCW+0L1+43new Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDAnkF96zL6DUtXhERAsgqAKC+XX89uI1ZdNC+U5+TUN+0Ee3+CQCfY9Aw 0knuvluQYiv+7Os1n4OJKYk= =fS4F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Wed__17_Aug_2005_00_38_42_+0100_+9/dCW+0L1+43new-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
