I'm looking into trying to have proper UTF8 support. I've never done this before. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use for characater translation? In looking through netatalk, they have their own copy of iconv with some Mac encodings; there's the following note: " From samba 3.0 beta and GNU libiconv-1.8 It's bad but most of the time we can't use libc iconv service: - it doesn't round trip for most encoding - it doesn't know about Apple extension " This note appears to be from about 2005. Can I somehow get away with glibc's iconv, or do I, too, need to make a complete copy on my own? Or should I just link afpfs-ng against netatalk's libatalk (which isn't currently shipped as a shared object)? I can see other reasons to use libatalk later... - Alex |
