嘿！Red Hat 太離譜了！居然單單把我們的國旗拿掉... 一定要讓多一點人知道... Plz forward this article to your friends, thx. 一些相關的報導： 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: 國旗被拿掉了 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 作業系統，其中包含有兼 容多種語言文化的 KDE 圖形介面， 使用者可以自行選用最合適的設定讓使用者介 面更為友善。當使用者透過「控制中心」的「國家和語言」選項變更這項設定時， KDE 會列出其所支援的所有選擇，並以該地區的旗幟輔助使用者辨別。很遺憾的， Red Hat Linux 8.0 中的 KDE 遭受到特別的修改，移除了原先出現在「台灣」前 的青天白日旗。當相鄰的選項都有對應的國旗呈現在名稱前時，我們對 Red Hat 公司的這項舉動感到震驚（如附圖一）。 台灣的 Linux 使用者在錯愕之餘，找出其他包含有 KDE 的 Linux 作業系統， 如 Mandrake Linux 9.0，確認這個修改只存在於 Red Hat Linux 8.0（如附圖二）。 當進一步檢視相關的程式碼時，赫然發現在 kdebase.spec 這個檔案的 558, 737, 833 行等三處，明確的寫出「拿掉台灣的旗子」， 並且是依據程式臭蟲 70235 號 修改。相關的程式碼包含於可公開取得的 Red Hat Linux 8.0 作業系統中， 並摘 錄於文後。很遺憾的，我們曾嘗試取得臭蟲 70235 號的詳細描述， 但均因權限不 足而宣告失敗。 台灣的 Linux 使用者建立了網站（網址 http://www.linux.org.tw/rh8-kde/）來 表達對 Red Hat 公司的不滿，國際性的作業系統討論網站 OSNews.com 也有文章 討論這個事件（網址：http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1866）。雖然 世界上大多數的 Linux 使用者可能都不會察覺這個小小的改變，但當 Red Hat 公 司這項公開的修改卻讓台灣的 Linux 使用者感到不被尊重， 尤其是對於曾經投入 中文版 KDE 開發工作的熱心使用者們。 我們希望 Red Hat 公司能將我們的國旗放回該設定畫面，並且解釋臭蟲 70235 號 的內容，還給台灣 Linux 使用者應有的尊重，相信台灣的 Linux 使用者也會願意 繼續在自由軟體的領域中貢獻他們的心力。 台灣 Linux 使用者 敬上 附註：kdebase.spec 檔案的部分內容，前方數字為行號 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.
