nick_format broken on NetBSD (g_convert_with_fallback() always fails) — at Initial Version

Description

NetBSD's implementation of iconv does not appear to support TRANSLIT. This means g_convert_with_fallback() called with TRANSLIT will always fail.

With "acc fb set nick_format %full_name" this silently fails and the normal handles are used as if nick_format was never set.

With "acc fb set nick_format fb-%full_name" the failure is more significant as nick_gen() produces "fb-" for all contacts and then the nicks are padded with underscores. Example (redacted columns): 10:05 <@harlos> blist 10:05 <@root> Nick 10:05 <@root> _ 10:05 <@root> fb- 10:05 <@root> fb-_ 10:05 <@root> l_

I think there are two solutions:

1) Use gnu iconv on NetBSD 2) Don't use TRANSLIT for NetBSD (This is what attached path does)

Change History (2)
