So as to me, though instead of marking BSD iconv broken IMO it would be better to install all its components with `b' prefix (i.e. libiconv --> libbiconv, iconv.h --> biconv.h etc), so that all packages that are happy with BSD iconv are still able to use it. -Maxim [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA8bj+/oNu5t4iCBa8RAodkAJ9Bhgeu1r9p0GY0/XllznIcKd6+bQCePmaF xUl+gv61AmqAXN+0/Fn9rA4= =QCHX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
