Actually, I was investigating the bugs of both BSDL iconv and GNU libiconv when I saw you committed the update. But it's fine, since the former implementation had gone under hibernation and the latter has less bugs anyway. However, please note that GNU libiconv is still buggy. It's not as widely used and well tested as Solaris' or glibc's iconv(). The bugs have been notified to the GNU libiconv team and hopefully they are working on fixing them. P.S. I've just committed the mass PORTREVISION bumping which would help users notify the iconv update. -- / /__ __ Akinori.org / MUSHA.org / ) ) ) ) / FreeBSD.org / Ruby-lang.org Akinori MUSHA aka / (_ / ( (__( @ iDaemons.org / and.or.jp "Somewhere out of a memory.. of lighted streets on quiet nights.."
