Hi dean,

that would probably work too. However you have to patch that file again
because it is part of the upstream sources whereas an ant.properties
file is part of Debian's packaging and can just be placed into the
debian directory.

ANSI is the default encoding for your Java platform and if you want to
have a specific encoding that is identical on all platforms you have to
tell Ant about it, for instance you can use ant -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 on
the command line or you can use the already mentioned ant.properties
file. I think we will fix this with the next revision of bouncycastle
one way or the other.

It's completely fine to reply to the bug report. We have a dedicated bug
mailing list too and all your e-mails to the bug report are
automatically forwarded to it. Keeping the bug report in CC also ensures
that other interested parties can follow the conversation without having
to subscribe to a dedicated mailing list like debian-java. Therefore I
suggest to continue the discussion by only writing to the bug report.

Cheers,

Markus
