RPM isn't really utf-8.. it's more single 8-bit characters... UTF-8 (1 byte characters) work fine.. multibyte are not promised to work. If you need special encoding (more then 8-bit characters) then you should be using 'po' style files to translate the 8-bit chars to localized versions... So checking (and fixing) the strings for various things is a good idea for RPM at least. --Mark -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
