Because it's not there yet either! I see - I didn't notice that because the subject line didn't say "new dependency". I don't think it's in pkgsrc either. I see only 0.9 on the libunistring home page, 27 May 2009, with no previous ones. So my immediate reaction is that this is nowhere near mature enough to depend on, but a) I don't know if that's fair and b) importing it does seem worse. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkooYNwACgkQ+vesoDJhHiXu3wCffOGGY/0ZK10tprHdBJpBPABS 6oAAoKQiUAD8l++Ju2ChYB3SAap3udKQ =PaBp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
