Package: python2.3-moinmoin
Version: 1.5.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
As per
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/AttachmentPageFailsWhenReturnedUnicodeFilenames
if data_dir is unicode encoded, MoinMoin will crash when you add an
attachment to a page. The attached patch gives you a warning in the
farmconfig files, and will hopefully save someone else a few hours :)
Thanks,
