Source: kgb-bot Version: 1.15-2 Severity: minor So, I was toying with git repos on alioth and decided to try creating a repository literally named ☃.git and see how the tooling worked with it.
Result has been a bug report to deb.li (ngnix reported a 500 error for the url containing ☃ ! :D) and this bug. This is the thing appeared on IRC: [10:25:52 PM] <KGB-1> Mattia Rizzolo master 6b451cb â "\342\230\203" here is a snowman for you! :P ☃ and another! ☃ * http://deb.li/byB7 Here, the 'â' wanted to be a snowman! We denied its future! :D That's the repository name, where apparently the single unicode character has been split in 3. And "\342\230\203" should be another snowman: that's the only file I modified. We checked that 0xE2 0x98 0x83 are the 3 bytes composing ☃ (0xE2 is â), and \342 \230 \203 is the octal representation of the same. So, I think there is something inside kgb chewing unicode characters thinking it's plain ascii, or something like that ;) Thanks for maintaining the KGB bots! -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
