Recent update of coreutils yielded an unexpected result on my box. Namely, the Polish gettext catalogue (pl.po) is broken beyond repair. OTOH coreutils-5.95 have the translation correct. The description of the problem follows: * In 5.95, pl.po file contains a header entry: "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2\n" and the file indeed is in the ISO-8859-2 encoding. So, each of 18 locale-specific characters is encoded in one byte. Example: ł (l with /) => B3 ę (e with ,) => EA ą (a with ,) => B1 ó (o with ') => F3 * In 5.96 pl.po file contains the same header, but *ALL* Polish-specific characters magically transformed themselves into a three-byte combination: ł (l with /) => EF BF BD ę (e with ,) => EF BF BD ą (a with ,) => EF BF BD ó (o with ') => EF BF BD Additionaly: # file coreutils-5.95/po/pl.po pl.po: ISO-8859 PO (gettext message catalogue) text # file coreutils-5.96/po/pl.po pl.po: UTF-8 Unicode PO (gettext message catalogue) text This is a real problem, because the file encoding is not recoverable without lots of manual tweaking... Help? After looking at the original tarballs from the package's home page, I've found out that they already contain broken .po files. So, the problem is out of Gentoo control. I've already contacted coreutils developer and Polish translators. I propose to leave this bug open for a while, until thing gets fixed upstream. if you can post a patch to revert 5.96 to 5.95 i'll include it I've received a very positive feedback from the maintainers of both coreutils and Polish translation for this package. Situation is under control right now and updated .po file can be found at: ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/packages/private/rzm/patches/coreutils-5.96.pl.po See original discussion here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00054.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00055.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00056.html I bet it's safe now to put coreutils-5.96-r1 into portage and include the aforementioned updated translation as well. (In reply to comment #2) > if you can post a patch to revert 5.96 to 5.95 i'll include it Well, I've coined an updated ebuild already, so there's no need to revert to the previous version. I suppose that it might be better to wait for the upstream to release a newer version with corrected translation, but since you've asked... The only problem with the broken pl.po file is that the patch for it is longer (~350 kB) than the original (~306 kB). I'm going to attach patches anyway, just to let you know what would be needed to correct the situation. Created attachment 89219 [details, diff]
