Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
since utf8 encoding is everywhere by now, and since switching the useflag |
| 4 |
unicode off without taking precautions is a way to hose your installation, I |
| 5 |
would propose to medium-term get rid of this flag. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Suggestion: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1) use.force unicode now/soon in the default profiles |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
2) step by step, modify ebuilds to enable the functionality unconditionally |
| 12 |
(and if necessary fix depstrings) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
3) at some point the flag is gone |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Opinions? |

Cheers, |
