Wait, in the interim, the brave user who wants ICU support system-wide now, and who has ICU already installed in the system, can just switch the "--without-icu" part to "--with-icu" in /usr/ports/devel/boost/Makefile , and do "make; make install" right? That will not break binary

Aha thank you very much for pointing these things out - great to know there was a discussion about it. Aha so maybe for OpenBSD 6.0 we'll have an ICU flavor at least. I understand that the ICU support in Boost interfered with some other package so it wasn't completely untrivial to include and

What would the decision be based on? Everyone just rolling thumbs or is there any real tradeoff? I guess anyhow that it's fair to say that OpenBSD machines do process Unicode and not just Ascii and that the Unicode usecase only will grow with time. On 2015-12-16 01:04, Kirill Bychkov
