Hi Christian. libidn.so implements the old IDNA standard, retroactively called IDNA2003. The page above talks about IDNAbis, or usually called IDNA2008, which libidn.so and idn don't support. IDNA2008 and IDNA2003 are not compatible. The GNU Libidn project contains another library and tool, libidn2 and idn2, which implements the IDNA2008 algorithm. It works like this: jas@latte:~$ idn2 baß.de xn--ba-hia.de jas@latte:~$ So I believe your request should be re-categorised as 1) a request to package libidn2, and 2) modify any applications you are concerned with to support it. If you just want to do the conversions on the command line, 1) will suffice. I'll see if I can get some packaging up and running... I would rather have libidn2 treated just as an update to libidn11 i.e. package idn (2.0), libidn-dev (2.0) and libidn20 (2.0) that replace the current /usr/bin/idn tool in the next Debian release. (or libidn2 if the linker figures correctly that it is newer than libidn11) That won't work -- IDNA2003 and IDNA2008 are fundamentally (at the specification level) so different that you can't replace one with the other. The APIs of the libraries are also different. Further, IDNA2003 will continue to be useful in parallel to IDNA2008, and vice versa. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
