2009-09-25 Thread Mark Longair
Package: xword Version: 1.0-4 Severity: wishlist xword's printed output is very nice, so it's useful to have a command-line option to generate a postscript file from .puz input. This means, for example, you can have a cron job that: - downloads a crossword - uses xword to generate a printable

Bug#539756: xword: add an option to try UTF-8 decoding before ISO-8859-1

2009-08-03 Thread Mark Longair

Bug#463072: xchat: ignore list is truncated to 0 bytes on quitting with disk full

2008-01-29 Thread Mark Longair
Package: xchat Version: 2.8.2-1 Severity: normal If you quit XChat while your disk is full then ~/.xchat2/ignore.conf is truncated to an empty file, losing your carefully crafted ignore list. I think this is because ignore_save() opens ignore.conf with O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY | O_CREAT - there would b
