+  AFFECTS: 10-CURRENT users with any port depending on converters/iconv
+  AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
+
+  10-CURRENT after r254273 (committed on August 13, 2013) has an
+  implementation of iconv enabled by default in libc.
+
+  Due to this change some major overhauling of the ports tree has
+  been necessary to move the ports to using that implementation.
+
+  People using pkgng should have little problems, "pkg upgrade"
+  will update all sofware to not depend on libivconv anymore, once
+  updated packages are available. Please make sure to perform a
+  "pkg autoremove" after that and check that libiconv is correctly
+  removed by it.
+
+  If you are using ports the update requires some manual intervention.
+  The following procedure should be followed:
+
+  # pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update
+  # pkg delete -f libiconv
+  # cat ports_to_update | xargs portmaster
+
+  or:
+
+  # pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update
+  # pkg delete -f libiconv
+  # cat ports_to_update | xargs portupgrade -f
+
