commit 60e0aae89cbf29f88f110376f911777aac70e8a7

    channels: Consider news files as UTF-8-encoded by default.
    
    Partly fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57039>.
    Reported by Pierre-Henry Fröhring <[email protected]>.
    
    Previously, news file would be read using the current locale encoding.
    This could lead to a test failure in 'tests/channels.scm' (in a test
    that expects some Unicode-capable encoding) in case tests were run in a
    non-Unicode locale.
    
    * guix/channels.scm (channel-news-for-commit): Make port for NEWS-FILE
    UTF-8 by default.
