[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65963] pkg install "fopen: encoding must be 'UTF-8'' warnings on macOS 14 AS

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #65963 (group octave):

Responding to just a couple parts of this...

> Did you run your tests with the GUI or CLI?

That was all in the GUI. I ran some CLI tests just now. None of them have the
warnings unless I set mfile_encoding('system') inside that session or one of
the startup files.

> The default mfile_encoding should be "utf-8" on all platforms.

I think what happened is a couple years back, I called the old
`__mfile_encoding__` on that one computer, using an older version of Octave,
to get it set to 'system'. And that didn't have any impact until this newer
9.x version of Octave. I now think the macOS 12 vs. 14 and Intel vs. Apple
Silicon stuff is a red herring. I can reproduce the same behavior on all of
them if I call `mfile_encoding` on them.

> it would be best to avoid double-posting the same issue in multiple places

I'll stick to one or the other from now on.
