>Description:
To avoid posting messages in UTF-8 when it is not needed, the following rule
is defined in the slrn resource file:
--
charset outgoing "us-ascii,iso-8859-1,iso-8859-15,utf-8"
--
This means that slrn will 'try the settings from left to right and use the
first for which encoding succeeds'.
Since iconv was moved to the base system, this self-encoding-selector does not work anymore.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use the following charset selection rule in your "slrnrc" file:
charset outgoing "us-ascii,iso-8859-1,iso-8859-15,utf-8"
and try to post messages filled with non-ascii characters.
>Fix:
Adds the "--with-non-gnu-iconv" magic flag to tell to slrn that it deals not with the gnu iconv, to the make file:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-ipv6 --disable-inews --with-slrnpull \
--with-non-gnu-iconv ${ICONV_CONFIGURE_ARG}
