renderfarm can't generate lang-pack.zip : zip command line is broken on Fedora with accent and special characters.

lang-pack are zip of the lang directories made by the renderfarm. The pack allows users to download the langs for an episode via the website (sources button). But zip goes into error when asked to regenerate the zip of the lang for a selection of episodes.

The bug is easy to reproduce:

Ref of the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2165653

(it works with any filename with an accent or a non ASCII character)

Affected episode:

  • ep 15
  • ep 17
  • ep 21
  • ep 22

Probably because of files like "DanhSáchTên.txt" https://framagit.org/peppercarrot/webcomics/-/blob/master/ep15_The-Crystal-Ball/lang/vi/DanhS%C3%A1chT%C3%AAn.txt

As not a lot of episode are affected and RedHat is dormant about it, and the Unzip project looks to be 14 years old dead ( https://infozip.sourceforge.net/Zip.html#Release ).

I propose to hunt for these non ASCII filenames and simply resolve it this way.
(eg renaming DanhSáchTên.txt with README.txt).
