Package: debian-el Version: 29.3-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch File: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-el/deb-view.el
When visiting the "control" file within a .deb with deb-view, the coding system doesn't get set to utf8. Mostly this just affects maintainer names, you can see for example in a deb of "wget". I know debian-el has setups for "/debian/control" in sources to get utf8, but the archive member in a .deb is only "./control" so doesn't get matched. I get some joy from the bit of code below. It tries hard to restrict itself to just a deb-view control file. It's a bit tempting maybe to try recognising a control file from the contents, or just say "./control" is always a deb. The code only works for emacs22; I suspect that might be due in part to bug fixes in tar-mode between emacs 21 and 22. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debian-el depends on: ii binutils 2.18-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii emacs21 [emacsen] 21.4a+1-5.4 The GNU Emacs editor ii emacs22-gtk [emacsen] 22.2+2-2 The GNU Emacs editor (with GTK use ii reportbug 3.40 reports bugs in the Debian distrib ii xemacs21-mule [emacsen] 21.4.21-3 highly customizable text editor -- Versions of packages debian-el recommends: ii dlocate 0.94 fast alternative to dpkg -L and dp ii groff-base 1.18.1.1-20 GNU troff text-formatting system ( ii wget 1.11.2-1 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information
