Meanwhile I've read a lot about iconv and to be honest, things are becoming even less clear. I am having not enough experience with FreeBSD to completely judge the situation. But obviously replacement of the ports version of iconv is still an ongoing process somehow related to 10.0-RELEASE. Besides the full list of affected ports I would like to know, if the 11 ports on my 10.0-RELEASE system currently depending on converters/libiconv all really have to. Or could they be built against the base iconv? My attempts so far to rebuild them with the /usr/ports/UPDATING advice was not successful. My feeling says that information about iconv in /usr/ports/UPDATING is not complete. Regards, Peter
