Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : convmv Version : 1.05 Upstream Author : Bjoern Jacke <bjoern [at] j3e.de> * URL or Web page : http://j3e.de/linux/convmv/convmv-1.05.tar.gz * License : GPL Description : converts filenames from one encoding to another
convmv is meant to help convert a single filename, a directory tree and the contained files or a whole filesystem into a different encoding. It just converts the filenames, not the content of the files. A special feature of convmv is that it also takes care of symlinks, also converts the symlink target pointer in case the symlink target is being converted, too. . All this comes in very handy when one wants to switch over from old 8-bit locales to UTF-8 locales. It is also possible to convert directories to UTF-8 which are already partly UTF-8 encoded. It's already packaged, I'am looking for a Sponsor :) The package: http://www.rdrz.de/~killekulla/debian/ Or via apt: deb http://www.rdrz.de/~killekulla/debian ./ deb-src http://www.rdrz.de/~killekulla/debian ./
