The i18n patch isn't necessary anymore, the multibyte patch adds the same functionality and doesn't break support for western languages (which the i18n patch does!). Although I can't read japanese texts, I tried to compare the less output with the webbrowser output of the same file and it looks ok to me. Can you please attach a sample japanese text file which doesn't display properly ? Ok. I'll send japanese text to you in E-mail. By the way, less-358-28 on RawHide can show japanese character. Because, This is applied "Patch2: less-358-iso254.patch and others". Why is less-358-28 moved to updates? I have disabled the less-358+iso247-20001210.diff patch in the 7.3 package because it breaks a lot of other languages. I added the iso254 and the -mf patch to the rawhide package to get feedback from users if it works now (such as your comment above). Now that I have confirmation that it actually works, I'm going to release an update package for 7.3 soon. From: "Kumakiri, Akira" <kumakiri> To: <valhalla-list> Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 2:41 PM Subject: less can not display japanese character on RH7.3 less on RedHat 7.3 can not display Japanese character. You can see UNIX USER<CA><D4><BD><B8><C9><F4> <C6><FC>...bra, bra, when trying to type UNIX USER and following some Japanese characters. This caused by not using Japanese patch. You can rebuild less-358-24.src.rpm by the following procedure. 1) get less-358-24.src.rpm from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/SRPMS 2) change to root 3) cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS 4) cp less.spec less.spec.org -- just for saving original 5) vi less.spec and remove # on the following lines. %prep %setup -q %patch -p1 -b .bug #%patch2 -p1 -b .i18n <-- remove # here %patch3 -p1 -b .eline #%patch4 -p1 -b .chset <-- remoce # here #%patch5 -p1 -b .rh <-- remove # here #%patch6 -p1 -b .num <-- remove # here 6) rpm -ba less.spec 7) You can find rebuilt less-358-24.i386.rpm on /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 8) rpm -ivh --force less-358-24.i386.rpm 9) check less command wether Japanese are typed correctly or not. 10) if OK, that's it ! if not, go back to step 4) and check less.spec vs. less.spec.org The above information is reported on http://www.unixuser.jp/info/ (Japanese) and translate by me for those who is fighting for the same problem. Hope this information helps releasing patched version of less for Japanese on comming release. Thank you. |
