Or it is to the extent that a computer can reasonably determine... If the relevant people are prepared to smack anyone who refuses to play nice then now would be a good time to unwithdraw GLEP 31, make compliance mandatory and add glep31check [1] to repoman or server-side. There are still a few instances of munged character sequences that happen to also be valid UTF-8. If you come across one, feel free to fix it. If you have weird characters in your name, please make especially sure that you're getting your ChangeLog name right. These are far more common than occasional user credit ChangeLog entries. Also, if your name on the devlist [2] isn't accented, pester someone to update it. Something strange I noticed... Some people are using funny quotes and non breaking spaces in ebuilds. Some people are using weird characters as substitution delimiters for sed. Don't! It will break on many systems. I'm going to go and purge all of those, UTF-8 or not, whenever my brain recovers. As far as editor support... On those really rare occasions when you need to enter UTF-8 text in ebuilds, vim, emacs and nano should all more or less work. For ChangeLogs, echangelog is utf-8 transparent, meaning if you run it from a UTF-8 terminal it should be ok. We have a guide [3] if you want to know more...
