-r3 is out with a fix. I'm really sorry about that :/ |
Problem: after upgrading to xterm 200-r2, I suddenly cannot view Unicode text in xterm sessions. Eventually traced to src_install() in 200-r2 which does: echo "*allowWindowOps: false" > ${D}/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm echo "*allowWindowOps: false" > ${D}/etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm This doesn't append; it overwrites, which wipes out a lot of valuable default settings. Fix should be as simple as changing from > to >> I eventually restored my /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm file from backups, added in that suggested change, and then I was able to view Unicode text again. Next xterm with this fix may need to reinstall the default XTerm and UXTerm file as well (with the windowsOps fix merged in). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # ls -l /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm Note: 4582 bytes 2. # emerge =xterm-200-r2 3. # etc-update 4. $ ls -l /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm Note: 24 bytes This is the easiest way to demonstrate the issue without anyone needing to make their Gentoo system locale-aware. Actual Results: I cat'd a UTF-8 encoded test file. Cyrillic characters did not display, but ASCII characters did. Expected Results: It should have had displayed the ASCII and Cyrillic characters. xterm was unable to display non-ASCII charsets because of UTF-8 specific settings had been wiped out from /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm due to the xterm 200-r2 src_install function doing overwrite instead of append.
