== SPKG Maintainers ==
 * David Kirkby

== Dependencies ==

 * None for the purposes of Sage, but in general gettext. 

== Special Update/Build Instructions ==
  
  * spkg-install removes ALL files installed by iconv - man pages, 
    docs, etc etc. If iconv gets updated, check these still
    remove all traces of iconv. 

    The sizes of the docs and man pages is small, so they are not 
    work removing from the package, as they potentially risk 
    breaking the install. 

== Changelog ==
 
=== iconv-1.13.1.p0 (David Kirkby, March 21st 2010) ===
 * #8567 Ensure iconv only builds on Solaris and Cygwin as
   having two copies of iconv causes problems on some Linux systems.
   
   
=== iconv-1.13.1 (David Kirkby, February 13th 2010) ===
 * #8191 First release of libiconv, needed for R on Solaris
   and probably for Cygwin too (see #7319)
