But the rules about EOL are clear, and it is easy for production to have a clear statement on what will be supported and what won't, and to organize themself with the informations. the portstree is also tagged when EOL occurs, so why still updating the ports tree after the dead line? Another solution can be to pay some freelance to do the fix if really needed. icu is a complicated ports and not an easy one to maintain, keeping the version working on 3 OSes (7 8 and 9) is already a pain. Last it's free software, you can contribute, maybe you have a fix to propose, I'll be glad to commit it. regards, Bapt
