Tiny Core 17.0 Alpha 1 Testing

I thought that the problem of "iconv -l" not displaying the additions from glibc_gconv had been fixed, but, after checking the bug report, I found that the commit had not been applied until glibc-2.43.

After a long search for the commit, I applied it to glibc-2.42 and recompiled to get a new iconv/iconvconfig, but it doesn't appear to fix the problem.

glibc_gconv reposted with a startup script to create an actual file /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.d/gconv-modules-extra.conf rather than a symlink.

Firstly in Apps....for the image I am showing with a UTF8 issue...I click close and can read the info file ok
I just thought while we were talking about UTF8, I have never seen this before.

to save you clicking the link the popup box against the info file for libimobiledevice says
"Displayed text contains the UTF-8 transcoding of the input file which was not UTF-8 encoded.
Some changes may have occurred" and offers a close button

my current locale stuff

Code: [Select]

locale
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
tc@box:~$ locale -a

There was definitely a problem with that info file:

Code: [Select]

file libimobiledevice.tcz.info
libimobiledevice.tcz.info: ISO-8859 text

iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t ASCII libimobiledevice.tcz.info -o test
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 352
It looks OK now:

Code: [Select]

file libimobiledevice.tcz.info
libimobiledevice.tcz.info: ASCII text
