Subject: [U-Boot] [RFC] Sort-of-poll about encoding for non-ASCII files
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 08:28:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E0AC5F5.2080908@aribaud.net> (raw)
All,
The current code base for U-Boot uses mixed encodings for non-ASCII
files. Specifically, the distribution of encodings is, accoding to the
'file' utility of Ubuntu 11.04, out of the 6533 files, 61 are UTF-8 and
101 are ISO-8859.
There would be an interest in normalizing around either UTF or ISO,
because for instance mixed encodings in a commit may prevent the display
of patches in patchwork.
This could go either way of course : converting ISO files to UTF or vice
versa. The goal of this RFC is to gather the pros and cons on UTF-8 vs
ISO-8859; then I'll issue a patch to normalize encodings according to
the discussion (1).
All comments welcome.
(1) note that by its very nature, the patch may quite well not appear in
patchwork and/or look funny. :)
Amicalement,
--
Albert.
