[Opensync-users] UTF-8 support and more

[<st...@ru...>]

Hello.

I wanted to ask a few questions.

First of all, what is the status of adding UTF-8 support to the =
internals of OpenSync? When I tried using OpenSync last it worked to =
some extent... it did sync most of my items (calendar and contacts) but =
for each item the text stopped when an international character was =
encountered in the item (such as an icelandic character). This is a =
major show stopper for me since pretty much all of my contacts contain =
these characters. I just took a look at the OpenSync Trac page and I =
could not find any ticket that had to do with this. Is that some sort of =
a misunderstanding? Or has this issue maybe been fixed? I really hope =
this gets fixed ASAP since I'm waiting anxiously to use OpenSync.

My other question has to do with the "spam tickets" that are in Trac. =
Why haven't these tickets been marked as invalid? I was about to do that =
but then I figured that there had to be a reason that it hadn't been =
done a long time ago. Is there a reason or should I just go ahead and =
mark them as invalid?

Can anything be done to prevent this sort of spamming?

Kind regards, Stefan Freyr.

Hi,

yes, the encoding issue is known and is a big todo on our list. The
problem is that opensync uses utf-8 internally, but stuff coming in from
a differen locale messes up the utf-8 parsing (since no encoding
conversion is done at the moment)

yes. i just installed a new version of trac with an account manager
(more about this in a separate mail to the list).
