take the Description field of cups and try to encode it in utf-8.
the (R) next to UNIX is the latin-1 (R) as one byte so you end up having
to drop the character entirely Unless you provide a mapping, for every
existent encoding.
Eh? Did somebody change Unicode so the low 256 chars aren't Latin-1
while I wasn't looking?
so mandating utf-8 is great, if you also do it in rpm spec files,
and
filenames, etc, etc, etc.
I think that would actually be a reasonable policy stipulation for Fedora.
But we don't have to settle that argument in order to write fedora-submit.
