嘿！Red Hat 太离谱了！居然单单把我们的国旗拿掉... 一定要让多一点人知道... Plz forward this article to your friends, thx. 一些相关的报导： http://tw.news.yahoo.com/2002/10/04/technology/ctnews/3572411.html http://udn.com/NEWS/INFOTECH/INTERNET/1018273.shtml http://news.chinatimes.com/Chinatimes/newslist/newslist-content/0,3546,130504+132002100400863,00.html http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1866 http://www.kuro5hin.org/displaystory/2002/10/6/173153/329 ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 6:45 PM Subject: 国旗被拿掉了 Taiwan's national flag has been removed (English translation follows) 各位朋友大家好， Red Hat 公司於今年九月卅日推出 Red Hat Linux 8.0 作业系统，其中包含有兼 容多种语言文化的 KDE 图形介面， 使用者可以自行选用最合适的设定让使用者介 面更为友善。当使用者透过「控制中心」的「国家和语言」选项变更这项设定时， KDE 会列出其所支援的所有选择，并以该地区的旗帜辅助使用者辨别。很遗憾的， Red Hat Linux 8.0 中的 KDE 遭受到特别的修改，移除了原先出现在「台湾」前 的青天白日旗。当相邻的选项都有对应的国旗呈现在名称前时，我们对 Red Hat 公司的这项举动感到震惊（如附图一）。 台湾的 Linux 使用者在错愕之余，找出其他包含有 KDE 的 Linux 作业系统， 如 Mandrake Linux 9.0，确认这个修改只存在於 Red Hat Linux 8.0（如附图二）。 当进一步检视相关的程式码时，赫然发现在 kdebase.spec 这个档案的 558, 737, 833 行等三处，明确的写出「拿掉台湾的旗子」， 并且是依据程式臭虫 70235 号 修改。相关的程式码包含於可公开取得的 Red Hat Linux 8.0 作业系统中， 并摘 录於文後。很遗憾的，我们曾尝试取得臭虫 70235 号的详细描述， 但均因权限不 足而宣告失败。 台湾的 Linux 使用者建立了网站（网址 http://www.linux.org.tw/rh8-kde/）来 表达对 Red Hat 公司的不满，国际性的作业系统讨论网站 OSNews.com 也有文章 讨论这个事件（网址：http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1866）。虽然 世界上大多数的 Linux 使用者可能都不会察觉这个小小的改变，但当 Red Hat 公 司这项公开的修改却让台湾的 Linux 使用者感到不被尊重， 尤其是对於曾经投入 中文版 KDE 开发工作的热心使用者们。 我们希望 Red Hat 公司能将我们的国旗放回该设定画面，并且解释臭虫 70235 号 的内容，还给台湾 Linux 使用者应有的尊重，相信台湾的 Linux 使用者也会愿意 继续在自由软体的领域中贡献他们的心力。 台湾 Linux 使用者 敬上 附注：kdebase.spec 档案的部分内容，前方数字为行号 558 # remove taiwanese flag 559 %if %{redhatify} 560 rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/locale/l10n/tw/flag.png 561 %endif 735 * Mon Aug 5 2002 Than Ngo [email protected] 3.0.2-7.2 736 - add patch file to fix kicker segfault (bug #69688) 737 - get rid of Taiwanese Flag in KDE (bug #70235) 830 * Mon Apr 4 2002 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer [email protected] 3.0.0-5 831 - Add fixes from KDE_3_0_BRANCH, except for the "F1 in konsole" change 832 (that one breaks things) 833 - Don't show Taiwanese flag for zh_CN (#61946) 834 - Move in Red Hat splash screen To whom it may concern, Red Hat Inc. introduced Red Hat Linux 8.0 on Sep. 30, 2002. Its users can choose the most appropriate language setting of the multilingual- capable KDE graphical desktop environment to make their user interface more friendly. When they make the change under the "Country & Language" setting in "Control Center" of KDE, all possible choices will be listed with a corresponding flag to help users make a choice. Unfortunately, the KDE in Red Hat Linux 8.0 has been modified so that the "white sun in a blue sky" flag, which should be placed next to Taiwan, is removed. Since all options have flags with their names except one, we are very supprised that Red Hat Inc. made such a change. (Figure 1) We, Taiwanese Linux users, have identified that the KDE in other Linux distributions, like Mandrake 9.0, didn't suffer such modification. Hence, this change only exists in Red Hat Linux 8.0. (Figure 2) After examing the source code of KDE, we found words such as "Get rid of Taiwanese flags" appeared in kdebase.spec, line 558, 737 and 833. The change is according to bug #70235. The source code could be obtained from the publicly downloadable Red Hat Linux 8.0. It is also included at the end of this article for your convenience. Unfortunately, we failed to retrieve the description of bug #70235 due to insufficient permission. We have set up a web site (http://www.linux.org.tw/rh8-ide/) to express our anger. We also saw articles and comments on an operating-system discusstion web site OSNews.com (http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1866) Although most of you may not have noticed this little change, it already made Taiwanese Linux users feel disrespected, especially those who had contributed their time to KDE developments. We hope that Red Hat Inc. will put our national flag back to the setting window, and explain the meaning of bug #70235, to restore the dignity of Taiwanese Linux users. We also believe that Taiwanese Linux users will keep contributing their efforts to the open source software community. Sincerely yours, Taiwanese Linux users p.s.
