The localizations are propably still stored ISO-8859-1 encoded when
Midgard itself uses UTF-8 as default from 1.6 onwards. I once adapted
the localization fix script from

http://www.nemein.com/people/rambo/upgrading_to_openpsa_1_10_1__and_later__in_latin1_encoded_db.html

to fix Aegir localizations at an installation but was too stupid to save
it anywhere, anyways the basic idea is to run

nnloc_convert_charset_lib('/path', 'iso-8859-1', 'utf-8');

For each Aegir localization library (including comments), however I
can't remember where to find them...

*backup* your database before doing anything like this, if excrement
hits the rotating blades the process is *not* reversible.

PCRE problem, see http://kaukolaweb.com/blog/midgard_on_rhel3.html
(though especially on a certain Fedora 1 box I had no end of issues with
this, in the end having to install PHP from source).

In fact it's funny that Aegir uses the ereg/eregi calls and trusts that
thet happen to be Perl compatible [system dependent], when preg_match
would certainly be Perl compatible and in most cases faster.

hklc.com is up ? (that URL really should be changed, alas Aegir
development has mostly ended).

Anyways that document would most certainly be obsolete, I think I (or
Kaukola or Bergie) have posted somewhere about setting up the
staging-live using my YAMP script for it (though the multilang version
has a bug I should fix).

For basic content management I would definitely use MidCOM, I at times
use Aegir for some things but mainly Spider if I have to do something
outside MidCOM.
