Re: [debian-i18n] i18n of man-db improved; please test

2003-09-27 Thread Junichi Uekawa 

Hi,

Another bug I noticed is that in the ru_RU.UTF-8 locale, man won't
find the man pages under ru_RU.KOI8-R.
   Hm. Yes, that is a bug (although not a regression; I think man-db
   2.4.1 behaved the same way). I wonder how to solve that correctly
   and generally.
  
  Why not require UTF-8 man pages? Maybe dh_installwhatever could recode
  them on the fly when the package is built.
 
 I think that's an extremely bad idea until groff supports them.

Some kind of file, a table like : 
/usr/share/po-debconf/encodings

would be useful, perhaps.


regards,
junichi

That seems like a good idea, thanks. I'll think about it for 2.4.3.
