ok. What the hell?
This is ridiculous. I think it is great that damir is off to fix all the software that deals with escape characters poorly, but in the mean time, I feel a need to find a resolution that isn't np-hard.
It must be my development/engineering background. Silly me being all practical.
If nobody has any objections, I will change the iso filenames to *not* include the ' character. I will probably have to contact the guy who posted the torrents as well. It will be a hassle, but this is so ludicrous that I am willing to do some extra legwork to fix it.
But this will lead to many broken links to the original file-name and thus cause even more trouble and bad news for Arch Linux. Also a new torrent make existent seeds/bandwidth useless and will cause confusion if users search for Arch Linux torrents. Why not just post news like: Rename the file-name if your cd-record software can't handle the original file-name. Jürgen
