Package: subversion Version: 1.4.6dfsg1-1 Severity: normal "svn log" silently generates a log file even when some characters are not representable in the charset specified by the current locale, e.g. it gives things like:
Test caract?\195?\168re non ISO-8859-1: ?\226?\134?\146 (with obfuscated codes). It may be difficult to detect such problems in large ChangeLog files (the user who is unaware of this undocumented behavior may think that everything is OK since "svn log" terminated normally). Unfortunately upstream doesn't care. A warning message to stderr could be a solution. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages subversion depends on: ii libapr1 1.2.11-1 The Apache Portable Runtime Librar ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsvn1 1.4.6dfsg1-1 Shared libraries used by Subversio subversion recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
