-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I'm testing debian-installer, but found some problems about localize messages. Main-menu supports localized menu messages by using Description-(two language code. we call this as LL) of packages. These messages must be UTF-8. But... 1. Any udeb package hasn't Description-LL. 2. Localized descriptions by DDTP can be used, but these files are written in local coding (such as EUC-JP), not in UTF-8. 3. Current apt and package tools don't look support Description-LL style. Although writing DDTP apt-line into sources.list, build tool can't recognize what language are they. 4. Build tool makes reduced UTF font for bogl-term, but checks only /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.templates and some English characters (using by `strings' tool. This tool doesn't recognize UTF-8 character). /var/lib/dpkg/status isn't be checked. so if we includes Description-LL into udeb merely, some of character will be missing. 5. Moreover, this font check works only very small first stage of debian-installer. Debian-installer dynamically loads installer packages and show menu (retrieved from Packages file of debian-installer apt-line), but some of their strings will be missing. The contents of Packages file depends on architecture. Do you have a good idea? - -- Kenshi Muto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iEYEARECAAYFAj9zkjsACgkQQKW+7XLQPLEq+wCgkEsbjEdQeb0DKPQQeNGna4mW itEAoLvIC6+Gkk9iqCOm5McItSgGHNEO =Itn7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
