Package: jpilot Version: 0.99.8-0.99.9-pre-20060518-1 Severity: normal When exporting appointments with non ascii content there are two problems with jpilot that are caused by improper handling of non ascii characters:
1) The summary field is truncated after 51 octets even if that is in the middle of a multi byte character. In the best case, this leaves us with illegal utf-8 in the export. 2) The description field is folded after 61 octets even if that is in the middle of a multi byte character. RFC 2445 says "... a long line can be split between any two *characters* by inserting a CRLF..." (emphasis mine), so this is not allowed, however it is not as serious as 1 in my opinion as the rfc also says "When parsing a content line, folded lines MUST first be unfolded..." so a compliant program reading the icalendar file will still manage to interpret it properly despite this problem. How to reproduce: Create an appointment with description: "asciiasciiasciiasciiasciiasciiasciiascii nonasciiÅÄÖ ÅÄÖ" (without the quotes) and export the calendar to icalendar format. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages jpilot depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libatk1.0-0 1.11.4-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.0.4-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-5.1 generic font configuration library ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.17-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.1-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpisock8 0.11.8-22 Library for communicating with a P ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-6 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.5.2-5 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:3.0.1.2-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-4 X Rendering Extension client libra Versions of packages jpilot recommends: ii jpilot-plug 0.99.8-0.99.9-pre-20060518-1 plugins for jpilot (Palm Pilot des -- debconf information: * shared/pilot/port: ttyUSB0
