Description Stephen Herr 2014-05-02 19:47:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
UTF-8 is the only valid database character encoding on Spacewalk servers. However currently instead of setting it automatically we take whatever the server-wide character encoding is. This will lead to problems later if it's not set to UTF-8.

This bug will track the change to make the tooling always correctly select UTF-8 as the DB character encoding. However we also need to make sure that if the system encoding is non-UTF-8 that other parts of Spacewalk do not break.

See bug 1085151 for the discussion that lead to this.
