Hi,

It looks to me like something went wrong with the Japanese characters on the
Derby documentation page:
http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/index.html#latest

Commit 770047 looks like a suspect, and I've just committed a change to fix
the problem.
I only committed a change to the result file (HTML), as the relevant source
hasn't been changed since late March 2007.
My theory is that the problem observed was caused by a bad build or commit,
not invalid source.
Does that sound feasible?

I updated manuals/index.html (r771249) on people.apache.org a few minutes
ago.

Thanks for finding this...
But I think your commit undid some changes I had put in at Kim's request.

With relevant source, you mean, this particular area?

Yes, I meant the code specifying the Japanese characters.
Since they haven't been changed in the source, I'm assuming something went bad when committing the new generated HTML file, or possibly something went wrong with the build itself.

For I did update
the manuals/index.xml also with revision 770047. I guess I didn't
check the diff closely enough?
I'm trying to avoid making the same mistake in the future - but I'm
not sure how I could avoid this. I'm building on windows, maybe that's
the difference?

It's not that often you commit changes involving characters that cannot be correctly represented in your default encoding. I guess we've seen the same before when using some of the Norwegian names in the commit messages (i.e. Jørgen, Øystein, Grøvlen). As usual, the encoding issue is a bit of a mess; the encoding of the file, the encoding used by your terminal/IDE and the encoding used/expected by Subversion...

Regards,
Myrna


Oops, I take that back - your change did fix the bad encoding and left
the other changes in place. So all is fine now.

Good!

I still don't understand why my build comes up with these titles in
bad encoding...I'll make a note in the DerbySnapShotAndRelease page.
