[REQ] convmv: covert filenames from to one to other encoding

http://freshmeat.net/projects/convmv/

and our friends on Gentoo have this:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=166984&

which you're find very handy.

if you think you don't need this tool, it's because you're lucky to be an in the first 128 bits and you were previously using iso8859-1 anyways.

for the others, we _need_ this tool.

ps. I came up to this tool searching a way to make samba see correctly modern greek filenames on a win2k NTFS partition. if anyone knows anything on this also go ahead

Re: [REQ] convmv: covert filenames from to one to other encoding

Ok. I don't have anything to convert but this should work. I hope :-)

pkgname=convmv
pkgver=1.08
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Filename encoding conversion tool"
url="http://j3e.de/linux/convmv/"
depends=('perl')
source=(http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/convmv/${pkgname}_${pkgver}.orig.tar.gz)
md5sums=('40707f82b1a9631fe715f68f94431d3a')

build() {
    cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
    make || return 1
    make PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Note: j3e.de server seems to be down. I used debian archives in source url. When the server becomes available again please change the url to the proper one.
