Package: joe
Version: 3.5-1.1
Severity: normal
I've reverted back to Joe 3.5-1.1, because with 3.5-2 there was a
regression regarding charset/encoding detection.
Having still a few non-UTF8 text files over, I'm using the joerc
option -guess_non_utf8. I didn't notice till now, but this feature
has been working exceptionally well.
With 3.5-2 it stopped.
When opening a file in ISO-8859-1, joe 3.5-2 now assumes it was UTF-8
from environment vars or the current locale. Its previous sanity check
does no longer work. (And as far as I tested, the actual char/encoding
of a file cannot be set via commandline arguments or LC_* vars any
longer either.)
The regression stems from one of the recent patches, probably. I've
tracked it down to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408562
##
+ * Fixed CHARSET detection to use the fine system function rather than
+ internal workaround, noticed by Chris Brown, closes: #408562.
##
The "undef HAVE_SETLOCALE" was obviously necessary to provide the
joe option -guess_non_utf8. The system/libc setlocale or whatever,
breaks this feature for me. (Not verified on other setups. But I
believe I have a fairly standard one.)
So, of course, I'd prefer a reversal of that patch.
I also think the previous reporters bug #408562 might have been
mitigated by the alternative option "-guess_utf8" instead.
(PS: Maybe _this_ report is connected to #453310)

Hi,
Without a response, I'll assume it is indeed fixed.
