[Bacula-devel] Fw: Re: [Bacula-users] bacula Chinese users

[Adamson H. <ad...@po...>]

Hello, 

Thank you for your reply.  I ran CVS to get the latest version (1.37.14) of 
bacula server and installed it as instructed.  The new version seems to work 
with the original win32-fd (1.36.3).  Nevertheless, if I INCLUDEd a Chinese 
folder name in bacula-dir.conf, I will be prompted with an error message 
starting up director.  I had this problem with older versions of bacula 
too.   
Please refer to the attached file for more information. 

Thanks again for your work. 

Best regards.

Hello,

In Bacula version 1.37, now under development, we have preliminary support 
for 
Unicode (and thus Chinese characters) in the Win32 FD.  The open question at 
the moment is whether or not we will have a bconsole program that can display 
the character names correctly.  If you would like to implement a test of the 
new code, the first step would be to pull down the latest Bacula source code 
from the CVS and build it.  It will not work with older Win32 FD, but if you 
can build version 1.37, let me know and I'll send you a Win32 FD with Unicode 
support for testing ...  Although, I am currently using 1.37 in production, I 
don't recommend it for general use yet.

Please respond to the bacula-devel list as this is at this point a 
development 
issue.
