#21932: Stop relying on the platform's default charset ---------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: karsten | Owner: metrics-team Type: defect | Status: needs_information Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Metrics/metrics-lib | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: ---------------------------------+----------------------------------- Changes (by iwakeh):
* status: needs_review => needs_information Comment: This ticket doesn't only address becoming independent of platform charset settings (which is good), but it also suggests switching from ASCII to UTF8. In many places metrics-lib currently reads also writes US-ASCII. As far as the (gruesome) charset topics go, UTF8 should be a superset of ASCII. Starting to read and write descriptors consistently in utf8 should work and would be good also to accommodate some of the character in names and other user configurable descriptor fields. In general, the proposed change seems fine. Is it also intended to only let metrics-lib write utf8 files with the proposed changes? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21932#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
