Description Robert Scheck 2022-01-13 02:44:11 UTC

Description of problem:
We would like to be able to pass international domain names to lynx in scripts, however various "modern" international domain names require IDNA 2008 support, such as "straße.de". As lynx 2.9.0-dev gained upstream support, which has landed in Fedora, we would like to request either a specific backport of the IDNA 2008 functionality or a rebase to lynx-2.9.0-dev.10.1.fc36.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lynx-2.8.9-18.el9
lynx-2.9.0-dev.10.1.fc36

Actual results:
No IDNA 2008 support in lynx.

Expected results:
IDNA 2008 support in lynx.

Comment 1 Kamil Dudka 2022-01-13 07:48:57 UTC

I do not think we have a business justification for introducing this feature into RHEL-9 after Beta.  If "We" in your statement refers to a customer of Red Hat, please open a customer case.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2022-01-13 12:58:24 UTC

Yes, we refers to us as a Red Hat customer and partner. I've meanwhile cross-filed case 03123979 at the Red Hat customer portal with our business justification.

Comment 12 Michal Sekletar 2022-01-24 12:57:16 UTC

I am against introducing development snapshot of lynx in RHEL-9 without a good justification. Support for IDNA 2008 is not important enough on its own to warrant the rebase. However, we acknowledge the feature request by the customer and thus we have decided to backport IDNA 2008 support to the currently shipped lynx version. It seems that backport should be fairly small and isolated.

Comment 13 Robert Scheck 2022-01-24 13:04:06 UTC

That's fine for us (we're the customer). The rebase was just a suggestion and thus also marked with a question mark, given I wasn't sure what's better. Thank you :)
