The tinderbox command crashes with UnicodeDecodeError on Fedora 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat).

Here is a traceback:
% jhbuild tinderbox -o ~/log

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 710: ordinal not in range(128) 


The code name, "Schrödinger’s Cat", may cause this error. It has a non-ascii character "ö" (UTF-8: 0xC3 0xB6).

Decode lsb_release output using preferred encoding

lsb_release may output non-ascii characters. For example, it prints
"Schrödinger’sCat" for the codename of Fedora 19. It caused jhbuild to
crash with UnicodeDecodeError in writing a tinderbox log.

Could you please review the patch?

Looks OK.

Decode release file using preferred encoding

Reopening this as my newly installed Fedora 19 machine does
not have the lsb_release tool installed, leading to another
UnicodeDecodeError in start_build:
