Scribus ebuilds have "registered trademark" symbols ("
Scribus ebuilds have "registered trademark" symbols ("®") in the DESCRIPTION field. This symbol is not ASCII. Perhaps portage allows iso-8859-1 chars, but it will probably cause a problem somewhere.
It's probably not about portage allowing it or not, because at the time you write the package description you don't know what charset the user will have set - only ascii characters should be used, because that is the common denominator of all charsets.
Would something like this be appropriate? diff -Naur original/scribus-0.8.ebuild new/scribus-0.8.ebuild --- original/scribus-0.8.ebuild 2003-08-02 11:47:48.000000000 -0400 +++ new/scribus-0.8.ebuild 2003-08-02 11:48:07.000000000 -0400 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-office/scribus/scribus-0.8.ebuild,v 1.7 2003/03/01 01:16:08 vapier Exp $ -DESCRIPTION="Layout program similar to Adobe?
