Win-iconv is meant to be a drop-in replacement for GNU libiconv as it has the same API interface and all it's functions should behave the same as GNU libiconv. Projects like Glib/GTK have also been using win-iconv for some time now in their Win32 releases so this gives me the confidence that it's good to replace GNU libiconv with win-iconv (as it's much smaller than GNU libiconv). I've also been testing win-iconv in the mingw-w64 testing repo (where all packages have been rebuilt) and haven't stumbled across any regressions yet. This proposed change was also announced to the fedora-mingw mailing list recently (see comment 4) and nobody objected to it, so we decided to continue with the review process. It looks like the 0.0.3 version was released less than 48 hours ago. I've updated the package to use this new version: Spec URL: http://ftd4linux.nl/contrib/mingw-win-iconv.spec SRPM URL: http://ftd4linux.nl/contrib/mingw-win-iconv-0.0.3-1.fc15.src.rpm * Fri Jun 3 2011 Erik van Pienbroek <epienbro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 0.0.3-1 - Update to 0.0.3 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
