Certainly I have found ISO8859-1 encoded text in my package.conf.d/* files, when I would expect (and was configured for) UTF-8. This also suggests that ISO8859-1 text in a *.cabal file would remain ISO8859-1 in the resulting package.conf file even if UTF-8 encoding was active at the time. -- brandon s allbery [email protected] wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
