I was just discussing some background, pointing out this is an upstream nuisance.Thomas Wolff writes:Like for grep which now barfs out when a character isnât recognized in the current encoding (and grep doesnât even provide an environment variable to override this mis-feature), these assumedly-modern upstream changes are a nuisance.You are barking up the wrng tree, please take that upstream.
I wouldn't ask the maintainer for a change with such an impact without discussing it in the community first, of course everybody can set up their own environment anyway.For ls at least, it can be fixed with the environment variable QUOTING_STYLE but that isnât even mentioned in the manual page!%Ââ â Poor old Unix tradition fades away. What about adding export QUOTING_STYLE=literal to /etc/profile as a fix?No, but you're free to do whatever you wish in /etc/profile.d (or lobby the coreutils maintiner to provide it with the package, although I'd suggest that it shouldn't get installed by default).
