Configuring Cervisia für UTF-8 System And Latin-1 Repository

Hi there,

I have a problem that I didn't find mentioned on Cervisia bugtracking and also
not via google:

Our repository is latin1, thus we want all the files and commit comments to be
in latin1. As far as I understand it cvs itself only transports the texts to
the repository as far as the encoding is concerned, thus when I set my
Konsole to latin1 cvs commit,  cvs log etc. work fine.

However, my KDE is in UTF-8 and with that setting, Cervisia displays two (!)
Boxes for every non ASCII character in diff and annotate and writes UTF-8
characters for non ASCII characters entered as commit comments both to the
log and into the commited files.

It seems to me that what is necessary here, is that cervisia converts text to
and from latin when invoking cvs. Is there a way to configure cervisia to do
that? Anybody else had that problem? Is there a workaround?

Yours,

        Jochen

Cervisia runs the cvs command and parses its output and uses the user's
locale to convert this ASCII output to unicode strings (and the other
direction, e.g. commit messages, works the same way).

Can you try to run cervisia from console with a given locale:

de_DE@euro cervisia

Check with the command locale whether de_DE@euro is installed on your
box. If not then install it or choose an existing locale that fits.


Cheers,
André
