[As noted earlier, I was updating the wrong bug (517074) with my previous emails -- now I'll reforward my mails, and Colin's reply, to the right bug.]
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Kerrisk <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 1:40 PM Subject: Bug#517074: manpages: state encoding of iso-8859-* pages To: [email protected] Cc: Colin Watson <[email protected]> Hello Colin, (I'm the upstream manpages maintainer, and I'm going to defer totally to your judgement on what needs to be done here.) In this report I see: [[ > * Better solutions * > > In a second step, I tried to move the page iso_8859-* to a directory > whose name tells what the encoding is (I typically move the > iso_8859-15 page to a directory named "en.ISO8859-15/man7"). The pipeline > seems to become better as we now obtain: This is one approach, but a cleaner one would be to change the first line of iso-8859-15.7.gz to: '\" t -*- coding: ISO-8859-15 -*- ]] It looks like this is the only piece that applies for the man-pages maintainer, right? Am I correct to assume that there should be analogous changes in all of the other iso_8859-*.7 pages, so that each such page specifies its specific locale at the top?
