As some may have noticed, the 10.0-RELEASE cycle has slipped a bit behind schedule. Here is where we stand at the moment: - The iconv issues mentioned in a previous status update email[1] are being looked at extensively. There are a number of iconv(3) fixes that have been committed to head/, which are pending MFC to stable/10 following the default 3-day merge period. Those tracking -CURRENT are encouraged to update their systems and report back (on -current@) any issues. Those awaiting the next 10.0 builds, please be patient. We will have the next round of builds for the 10.0-RELEASE cycle started as soon as possible.

Since I last tried, there has been no further update as of about two days ago. I use subversion built from pkgsrc on a USB-stick installation of NetBSD-current amd64, and then check relevant dates for re(4)-related files. NetBSD-current source tree and pkgsrc tree are in separate directories on the FreeBSD-current amd64 partition. Having directories /netbsd-HEAD and /pkgsrc apparently does not bother FreeBSD. Tom
