If you search the OpenOCD mailing list archives you'll see that this sort of issue has cropped up a few times in the past - i.e. script filenames with non-ASCII (usually or always Cyrillic) characters in the name which caused problems for some people/tools. I remember a few such filenames in the OpenOCD source base years ago but then the files in question were either renamed or were removed along the way. I don't know if there's any general policy on the naming of source and configuration files or if it's simply a question of pragmatism/common sense? Similarly, I'm not sure if there's any stated policy on stuff like removing from files content such as links/URLs of a specific geographical/national nature, but I suspect that anything suggestive of censorship might be potentially controversial?
--- **[tickets:#435] Broken file** **Status:** new **Milestone:** 0.10.0 **Created:** Mon Sep 23, 2024 06:14 PM UTC by Paul **Last Updated:** Mon Sep 23, 2024 06:14 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody Hi maintainers and contributors, Please remove https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd/blob/ad216136180e0cd482f414eb072c9dd25dd1c559/tcl/target/1986%D0%B2%D0%B51%D1%82.cfg or https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/code/ci/master/tree/tcl/target/1986%D0%B2%D0%B51%D1%82.cfg from the repository. Many tools can't cope with these special chars in it. Which results in extraction errors if someone tries to extract a zip with this file and OpenOCD in it. Also some file system tools don't like them and fail to display the file name correctly. (This is not the reason for the ticket but it would be reason enough: it's Russian and contains a link to a Russian {.ru} web site. If you don't support the war against the Ukrain I it would be nice to remove any links {and in the same act support for special products from them} to them from your software) And here is some example on a Windows system how an error of a library which failed to extract the zip look like: `scripts\target\1986??1?.cfg` as you can see the special chars broke the path. --- Sent from sourceforge.net because openocd-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/admin/tickets/options.
