Thanks for considering!
As I am personally working through the sources of eb-library via tarballs. There was a transition in the character set from EUC-JP to CSISO2022JP, hence the README
on SRA's FTP would still be spitting mojibake/garbage if one used iconv -f EUC-JP -t UTF-8 README
. The transition from EUC-JP to CSISO2022JP happened around version 4.1rc0.
In addition, some paths (still) are:
* best converted (via character conversion) separately. doc/
directory is an example of one, where EUC-JP is still used, and
* at the time of writing this, best left not converted at all, as they are probably prone to breakage and may result in zero-length files. Examples of these includes those in po*/
directory, and/or files that are suffixed with .po
.
Over time, and with interest, I can provide another update to the PKGBUILD
to reflect these.
P.S.: Forgot to mention that makedepends=()
will need iconv
regardless, as they are needed for character conversion.

This package now replaces eb-library as that has been deleted.
(That package was providing the same build as this one, but was orphaned for quite some time before deletion.)
Comments from the page of that package have been imported here so they are not lost.
