Status of UTF-8 Debian changelogs

2003-06-05 Thread Jérôme Marant
Hi, I've seen some UTF-8-encoded debian/changelog files but I haven't seen anything mentioning it is allowed in Debian Policy. According to #174982, the proposal has been accepted but the bug is still open. When is this planned for? Thanks. -- Jérôme Marant

Re: Bug#155680: [ PROPOSAL ] bump priority of window managers which support WMSP

2002-08-07 Thread Jérôme Marant
ually, I would do the contrary, because since it aims at supporting kde and gnome, it does not enhance your system but it rather bloats it. So instead of being a plus, it is a minus ;-) So every wm that does not support kde and gnome should have a higher priority ;-) Cheers, -- Jérôme Marant http://marant.org
