There are still applications in Etch which do not fully support UTF-8. > > defaut? are we going to provide non UTF-8 descriptions with Lenny? > > Jens ask for a change for german. No, you misunderstood me. Currently, if I request a new untranslated package description via email I get: Description-de: [latin1 encoded description] I asked you to send Description-de.UTF-8: [utf-8 encoded description] if and only if the user didn't specified an encoding (or utf-8). If the DDTP recieves a new translation containing Description-de: it should still assume latin1. Reason for the latter is mainly to be compatible with the old behaviour. You are free to interpret such message as UTF-8 only if: * you announce it everywhere (status.txt in DDTP mails, on this list, in the docu) already a few week before * the encoding check works well You could nevertheless just reject messages without explicit encoding ...
