Public bug reported: Kudos for supporting the latest version of libedit in the new releases ... but ... one of the great benefits of the latest version is that it supports unicode -- UTF8 strings. From what I can tell, the current ubuntu builds do not enable this. So, for example:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/154417352/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty- amd64.libedit_3.1-20130712-2_UPLOADING.txt.gz reports: checking if you want wide-character code... no To get UTF8 support one normally needs to ./configure --enable-widec which then defines WIDECHAR in config.h which causes symbols like history_w history_wend history_winit and el_wget el_wgetc el_wgets to appear in the library. It would be great if you did this: I'm exhausted in explaining to my users where they can get libedit and how to build it from source :-( ** Affects: libedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276836 Title: UTF8 support not enabled in libedit?
