OK, then the only issue is whether the giconv implementation is equal or better. If it is equal or better, then I see no reason not to obsolete the old iconv package entirely.. possibly leaving it alone as a "dead" package, with only a dependency on the current giconv port. This way people can migrate to the new package gracefully. Then at some later point (perhaps in a year) the iconv port can be removed. > GNU is Russian-centric? Interesting. Never said that. I'm only saying that you can't assume that just because something works for your locale that it works as expected for other locales. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
