<Darcs Debian maintainer hat on> I believe this is not a serious concern for Debian, as it defaults to UTF-8 everywhere (if it doesn't, that's a bug). Of course, there are probably still people who switch their system to something like JIS, but they will be in the minority. I do not know if other POSIX distributions use some other encoding (e.g. Latin-1) by default. I imagine that *was* quite a widespread default configuration only a few years ago. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
