Too many tools in free software went from assuming locale C to assuming UTF-8, which is why we have so many problems building this dictionary, then converting it from ispell format to myspell and aspell formats. This regularly breaks and I'm not sure how to solve this in a permanent and predictable way, because forcing each tool used in the scripts to use KOI8-R is not always possible. > Second: > BUG #511290 already fixed in this string: > grep -h '[��]' $(DICTIONARIES) | tr '\243\263' '\305\345' > yo_subst.koi > > ^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > yo==IO==ё > but broken because grep and tr don't know what they work with koi8r codepage > and because somebody mistaken Indeed, that's correct. > Third: > Товарисч Александр вы либо немножко глупый, либо афигенный 'ч'удак, в первом > случае я вообще не понимаю как у вас оказался данный патч, но понимаю почему > вы до сих пор не перешли на утф, во втором вы наверно догадались что я о вас > думаю. (English summary: the bug reporter has an extremely negative view of upstream's work, among other things about his recalcitrance at getting around transiting the source files to UTF-8). I've always wondered that too. Transiting the source files to UTF-8 would make it much easier to generate wordlists for a variety of dictionary formats and to maintain the build scripts without constantly having to edit them separately in a KOI8-R -enabled editor. However, repeated attempts by maintainers of dictionary packages at various distributions (Fedora, Debian, etc.) to contact upstream all resulted with upstream ignoring them. Some even tried phoning him directly at Moscow State University (which is where the MSU domain in his address comes from) and he hung up the phone on them.
