This ensures packages build on a UTF-8 locale system with non-ASCII character names can be installed on non-UTF-8 systems. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> --- Arch Linux has been explicitly setting the C locale when packaging with devtools for a long time. I think it is best we address this at the source. bsdtar will give a warning when dealing with a file having non-ASCII characters during packaging, but the resulting package works. scripts/makepkg.sh.in | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in index 4174ba5..e20b707 100644 --- a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in +++ b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in @@ -1998,7 +1998,7 @@ create_package() { shopt -s nullglob msg2 "$(gettext "Generating .MTREE file...")" - bsdtar -czf .MTREE --format=mtree \ + LANG=C bsdtar -czf .MTREE --format=mtree \ --options='!all,use-set,type,uid,gid,mode,time,size,md5,sha256,link' \ "${comp_files[@]}" * comp_files+=(".MTREE") @@ -2009,7 +2009,7 @@ create_package() { # bsdtar's gzip compression always saves the time stamp, making one # archive created using the same command line distinct from another. # Disable bsdtar compression and use gzip -n for now. - bsdtar -cf - "${comp_files[@]}" * | + LANG=C bsdtar -cf - "${comp_files[@]}" * | case "$PKGEXT" in *tar.gz) ${COMPRESSGZ[@]:-gzip -c -f -n} ;; *tar.bz2) ${COMPRESSBZ2[@]:-bzip2 -c -f} ;; @@ -2143,7 +2143,7 @@ create_srcpackage() { # tar it up msg2 "$(gettext "Compressing source package...")" cd_safe "${srclinks}" - if ! bsdtar -cL ${TAR_OPT} -f "$pkg_file" ${pkgbase}; then + if !
