Quite the contrary, > it's an additional test to expose and let the broken tools be fixed. I can see merit in this argument. Reminds me a bit of Linus's "tabs versus spaces" gate... :-) https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/linus-torvalds-reiterates-his-tabs-versus-spaces-stance-with-a-kernel-trap/ I'm also curious as to what specific platforms/tools people have seen having problems with filenames such as "1986ве1т.cfg" and "к1879xб1я.cfg"? I just downloaded the latest xPack OpenOCD (https://xpack-dev-tools.github.io/openocd-xpack/docs/releases/) and extracted it using 7Zip and Windows Explorer ("File Manager") and neither had problems extracting all contents including 1986ве1т.cfg or к1879xб1я.cfg and I can use these files from the command line, editors etc. Personally, as things stand, I don't really see a compelling case for removing or renaming (to ASCII (or ANSI?) only) such files - or unilaterally removing content from them. Where somebody has a different opinion then maybe the best way to test it is via the patch/review process? --- **[tickets:#435] Broken file** **Status:** new **Milestone:** 0.10.0 **Created:** Mon Sep 23, 2024 06:14 PM UTC by Paul **Last Updated:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 01:52 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.
