Package: cvs2svn Version: 1.5.0-1 Severity: minor
The following manpages in your package appear to be UTF-8 encoded: /usr/share/man/man1/cvs2svn.1.gz According to Colin Watson, "With some exceptions for Far Eastern languages, manual pages should not at present be encoded using UTF-8. As such, it's reasonable to file bugs against packages attempting to use UTF-8 where it is not yet supported." Hence I'm filing this bug. The solution for now seems to be to encode the pages as 7-bit ASCII, using the appropriate *roff sequences to produce accented characters. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cvs2svn depends on: ii python-support 0.6.4 automated rebuilding support for p ii rcs 5.7-20 The GNU Revision Control System ii subversion 1.4.4dfsg1-1 Advanced version control system Versions of packages cvs2svn recommends: ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
