Hi,
I noticed that grep 2.21-1 regards ISO-8859-15 encoded files as binary, if
LC_ALL is set to en_US.UTF.
I am not sure if this is a bug or an expected behaviour change in 2.21-1, but
since I could not find anything in the changelog that directly mentions it, I am
reporting it. (I could not find anything on http://debbugs.gnu.org)
How to reproduce:
Create a iso-8859-15 encoded test file with: test ä ö ü
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8
grep test testfile
Binary file test matches
export LC_ALL=en_US
(grep works as expected)
The behaviour for LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8 was changed in 2.21-1 and worked correctly
in 2.20-1.
I am testing this on arch with glibc 2.20-4 (if that is relevant).
Please let me know if you need more informations.
Regards,
Martin
