ChangeLog irony
by gus3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EDYQ)
From Thursday's update to pkgtools:
Code:a/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-37.txz: Rebuilt.
installpkg: in --terse mode, fix formatting for the uncommon situation
where numfmt produces a 5 character output e.g. 1000K.
Thanks to Karl Magnus Kolsti.I think Karl Magnus's family name is actually Kolsto. The mis-rendering above is from using Windows-1252 encoding instead of UTF-8. The latter would recognize the 3-octet sequence "c3 b8 2e" as the UTF-8 sequence for "o".
So, Mr. Kolsto reported a mis-rendering issue, it got fixed, and then his name got mis-rendered in the WWW version of the ChangeLog.txt.
N.B. this isn't a bug report or any gripe. It's a small bit of tongue-in-cheek humor. There are too many mirrors out there to re-configure for UTF-8 default, and the browsers bring a whole new level of "you're kidding, right?".
