-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 * Package name : utf8-migration-tool Version : 0.4 Upstream Authors: Tollef Fog Heen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Martin-Éric Racine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://q-funk.iki.fi/debian/pool/u/utf8-migration-tool/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python, GTK2+ Description : tool to migrate a Debian system to UTF-8 This wizard upgrades legacy system locales to their UTF-8 equivalent. It also informs users whenever files in their home directory still utilize legacy encodings. ***** This started as an Ubuntu tool to enable easy migration to UTF-8 for both locale settings and user file encodings. Tollef says that since Ubuntu has been UTF-8 by default for a few releases already, they are not likely to further develop it and invited me to take over development, so I have. I have found this tool very usefull to help me locate remaining files in my home directory that are still in a legacy encoding and to check system files for UTF-8 locales utilization. Given how Etch is going to be the first Debian release with UTF-8 locales by default, I figure that it could be a usefull migration tool for others as well. Frans Pop suggest it could be worth mentioning in Etch's Release Notes and recommended that I filed an ITP. I would gladly welcome co-maintainance with Debian's i10n/i18n team. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEmsN7eXr56x4Muc0RAhtMAKCuRqxDyPaY7a3G4AQBfG+RkJEBMwCfYd0J 4USvSEZsYeCHkFPW6WeBsEU= =F2n4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
