Hi Marco, This one will (amazingly enough) require a tiny bit of discussion.
We currently have a patch from Daniel Buenzli with an ISO-8859-1 encoded character in its metadata. Marco's patch has a UTF-8 character. Darcs is completely encoding-ignorant and sees these all as bytes. Policy question: - do we mandate ISO-8859-1 characters in metadata only (yuck) - do we mandate ASCII only characters from now on? [the dont-tempt-fate path] - do we mandate UTF-8 characters only from now on and accept this as motivational dogfood for us to come up with a solution for the metadata encodings problem? http://bugs.darcs.net/issue64 [the choke-on-dogfood path] - do we do something else? I'm actually leaning towards the choke-on-dogfood path myself... Anyway, I suspect Petr will just have to make a decision on this sometime next week. It's not that big a deal, but whatever we do decide, we should probably document in http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/DeveloperGettingStarted On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 08:52:17 -0300, Marco Túlio Gontijo e Silva wrote: > Sat Mar 28 08:37:11 BRT 2009 Marco T??lio Gontijo e Silva > <[email protected]> > * Update e-mail address for Marco T??lio Gontijo e Silva. > This patch includes an UTF-8 character in .authorspellings. On an unrelated note, if we accept this patch, we should UTF-8-ise Daniel's name in the authorspellings.
