Yes, but now I can't locate the code that I thought I was reading, so let's ignore this aspect. >> * Do we (or gtk) really still support non-UTF-8 platform charset >> values on *nix?

OK. Thanks. On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 6:03 PM, Yuri Dario <mc6...@mclink.it> wrote: > the OS/2 port is alive, we already have a beta release for 17.x and a > more current version will follow. Does this work all happen in forked repositories, such as https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/ , or does code still get upstreamed to mozilla-central?

I suggest we get of nsIPlatformCharset as a Gecko-level concept and let the OS/2 port deal with non-Unicode platform encodings on the platform-specific widget perimeter. If this means OS/2 needs some non-Encoding Standard encoders/decoders, I think the OS/2 port should maintain additional encoders/decoders as part of the OS/2 widget code (if suitable code isn't available via system APIs on OS/2). I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=943272 and a bunch of dependencies. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@hsivonen.fi http://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
