Category: 10. Objects Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Don Porter (dgp) Assigned to: Don Porter (dgp) Summary: stop use of identity encoding during startup Initial Comment: I suspect we can use the binary encoding instead now, and take a big step toward getting rid of identity altogether. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Joe English (jenglish) Date: 2008-10-23 16:50 Message: Don't quite yet grok what the patch is doing or how it's doing it, but the intent is eminently reasonable. "binary" as the system default encoding is a much better choice than "identity" (which, as noted, is broken-as-designed). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2008-10-23 13:35 Message: Here's a dead simple patch that does this. Changes the default and original system encoding to iso8859-1, that is, binary, instead of the broken-as-designed "identity".

That's what makes this pursuit feasible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Donal K. Fellows (dkf) Date: 2008-06-30 07:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=79902 Originator: NO We've got a guarantee that iso8859-1 is baked in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=360894&aid=2006809&group_id=10894 |
