Bug 130690 – pure-ftpd enable "--with-rfc2640" with USE="unicode"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description pigfoot 2006-04-20 23:00:31 UTC]

--with-rfc2640 can enable support for charset conversion. It adds a dependency
over the iconv library and it requires a little more CPU time.

In FreeBSD, we can trun it on by define WITH_UTF8 when use ports. Will pure-ftpd on gentoo support this option in the future?

Thanks in advanced.

Uhm, you mean virtual/libiconv or dev-libs/libiconv? If you mean the latter, then it's definitely not an option, it blocks glibc.

I mean why should pure-ftpd in portage turns on configuration option of '--with-rfc2640' depends upon USE flag 'utf8' or 'unicode'.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

You didn't answer my question about the dependency at all...

Sorry, I miss your point.

According to "Gentoo/ALT Technotes Guide", I think it doesn't need to link
with iconv because glibc has provided this.

Then would it be possible to add: IUSE utf8 and "use utf8 && myconf="${myconf} --with-rfc2640"?

Yeah - I was asking whether it works w/ iconv provided by glibc...

It worked well for me with glibc-2.4-r3.
I have tested pure-ftpd with "--fscharset=utf8 --clientcharset=gbk".

Added as USE flag "charconv" to 1.0.21-r1.
It depends on virtual/libiconv.
Best regards, CHTEKK.
