Description of problem: Given the existence of the publican.cfg file publican should accept arbitrary and non-latin names, products and versions. The book_info.xml file should allow any value in productnumber, title, edition, subtitle and so on. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a book 2. Put something funky in the edition (for example: 愛) and then configure a numerical version in the publican config file (for example: 1). 3. book breaks (see "results"). Actual results: Invalid format for version. Value (愛) does not conform to constraint ([^0-9.]) at /usr/bin/publican line 362 Expected results: These constraints should be removed if there is a value present in the configuration file. The book should build and output an RPM with version 1 and a product with edition 愛. Additional info: Edition Beta/Alpha and prerelease should work. Product numbers and editions should support latin characters, non latin characters and punctuation.

tested building and packaging with the following settings. $ grep edition en-US/Book_Info.xml publican.cfg en-US/Book_Info.xml: <edition>愛</edition> publican.cfg:edition: 1.2 Built and packaged correctly with o error messages. Please supply a link to your source so we can check it for oddities.
This works in 1.2. It just affected 1.1. Fixed.
