| GLEP 31 came to mind when i was writing the e-mail but i forgot to |
| 10 |
| mention it ... maybe ciaran can hop in here |

GLEP 31 is withdrawn until Gentoo gets some means of removing commit |
| 13 |
access from people who say "nyah nyah I don't feel like following the |
| 14 |
rules and so I'll just carry on breaking stuff as I see fit". As it |
| 15 |
stands I've been told by various people that they have no interest in |
| 16 |
ensuring that their commits are UTF-8 safe (even if there's an |
| 17 |
automated check that warns them when they're about to break something), |
| 18 |
and I don't consider it fair to force lots of repoman warnings upon |
| 19 |
other developers who *do* care about that kind of thing who just happen |
| 20 |
to be the next person to touch a package that got broken. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
*shrug* So, if you want to be nice and use UTF-8, please do so. CVS is |
| 23 |
fine with it. Chances are whoever writes the CVS -> changelog tool will |
| 24 |
get it wrong with text wrapping at least once, but it's easy enough to |
| 25 |
fix. |
