Package: irssi-scripts Version: 20131030 Severity: normal Tags: l10n A good deal of scripts include non-ASCII characters, and all which do so, with one exception, use some ancient encoding. This is bad for at least two reasons: 1. they may spew mangled characters to the user (you or others), and 2. as most scripts need to be RTFSed to see what they do, reading them is cumbersome. This is annoying in languages such as Polish that include characters with diacritics (quite a few scripts in this package are written in Polish).
Debian uses UTF-8 by default for a decade, it should be safe to assume there are about no users of other locales other than C, which can't handle non-ASCII anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.7.10-vs2.3.5.6 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages irssi-scripts depends on: ii irssi 0.8.15-5.0kb2 ii perl 5.18.2-2+b1 Versions of packages irssi-scripts recommends: ii libwww-perl 6.05-2 Versions of packages irssi-scripts suggests: ii elinks [www-browser] 0.12~pre6-4 pn libdbi-perl <none> ii net-tools 1.60-25 ii perl-modules 5.18.2-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
