Package: libidn11 Version: 1.15-2 Severity: normal
Quoting http://www.denic.de/en/domains/internationalized-domain-names/sharp-s.html "Since 4 August 2010, the IDNAbis standard allows the Latin small letter sharp s – also known as "Eszett" or "sharp s" ("ß") – to be used as part of a domain name" The IDN library (1.15 as well as 1.22 from unstable) still converts it to "ss": $ idn --quiet --idna-to-ascii baß.de bass.de Changing the behaviour will of course break backwards compatibility but as the compatibility was broken by the IDNA standard itself, the library should continue to follow the standard (at least in methods that have "idna" in their name). bye, -christian- -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-bpo.2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libidn11 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib libidn11 recommends no packages. libidn11 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
