A script that recodes a spreadsheet's charset and saves as CSV
This script will recode a spreadsheet into a different character set and output the recoded data as a csv file.
The script came about after many headaches from dealing with Excel spreadsheets from clients that were being received in various character sets.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
