Hi, As I wrote in the "Unidetified subject!" thread, I rewrite the Mirrors.masterlist file to use ASCII characters only (including SGML entity expressions which themselves are written in ASCII).
Howevere, I found that these SGML entities themselves appear in the webpage of http://www.debian.org/mirror/official_sponsors.en.html against my intension. This is because "&" is processed in some scripts and modified into "&". I think there are several ways of solutions. 1) Modify the scripts not to modify "&" into "&", and leave the Mirrors.masterlist as it is. 2) Restore the Mirrors.masterlist and modify the scripts to change 8bit characters into SGML entities. 3) Modify the Mirrors.masterlist to use UTF-8 and modify the scripts to change UTF-8 characters into SGML entities. Now, 2) cannot be a solution because I found Mirrors.masterlist uses not only ISO-8859-1 but also ISO-8859-2 characters. How about 1) or 3) ? PS. I found http://www.debian.org/mirror/sponsors.en.html is too old. Why isn't it regenerated since Nov 11, 2002 ? --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
