You know, the tilda character gets used a lot in Unix-like systems.  Just sayin'.

Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2012-07-16 16:23:47 UTC

What I will just say here is that upstream has become unresponsive and its always better to try these discussion on upstream bugzilla as we just pull upstream tarballs and build it in Fedora.

Comment 3 pscottdv 2012-10-11 16:23:09 UTC

I filed the following bug with bugzilla.gnome.org:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680556

And user anish appears to have provided a patch for the ~ and ^ characters.  Perhaps Fedora could see about integrating it into their rpm?

Comment 4 Daiki Ueno 2013-03-27 10:19:46 UTC

It should be fixed in caribou 0.4.8 (available in rawhide and f19).
