Package: screen Version: 4.0.3-0.2 Severity: wishlist screen supports UTF-8 great if -U is used. However, it must be specified on the command line even if the current locale is a .UTF-8 type (e.g. en_US.UTF-8, etc).
It would be more appropriate for screen to check the locale, and if it's anything.UTF-8 then it should automatically go into UTF-8 mode. The -U option would still be useful for forcing UTF-8 mode regardless of locale; it could probably be extended to have an extra option to turn UTF-8 off unconditionally in case there are problems. For instance, -U to turn it always on, -u to turn it always off, and if neither is given, it's detected from the locale. If you think this would be useful but need some help implementing it, I would be happy to provide a patch, as it's pretty simple to do a locale check if you know how. =) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages screen depends on: ii base-passwd 3.5.11 Debian base system master password ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii passwd 1:4.0.18.1-6 change and administer password and screen recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
