sms encoding problem on postgresql

[Esmin Gracić]

Hi all,
We have working (gnokii) smsd service on Debian 64bit, using
Postgresql 9.1 (utf8 db) as storage engine and ZTE MF622 usb modem.
The issue is pg does not support utf16.
1. How does smsd handle conversion from gsm encoding variants to uft8,
and vice versa for sending?

I see in official TODO:
SHORT TERM
 * remove encoding workarounds -- should be purely based on libiconv and
   glib (in progress)

2. Short term is how much exactly (estimation)?
3. Your experience using file system and/or Sqlite and filesystem
considering SMSes with variable encoding (on a tight deadline, so no
time to check out myself)
4. Every now and then (one or two incoming messages per few hundreds
gets duplicated in inbox table). Is this known bug?

Thanks,
Esmin Gracić
