I think it might be helpful to keep patches like this in the
repository.
They can be a very good reference when porting other software. Most of
the information should be in the PortLog however. Old PortLog entries
should not be deleted either.
Why have you just removed my log from libiconv then? It did build fine
with --build=i586-pc-beos and I don't see a dependency on libnetwork.
If something broke, please say so in the Wiki, the patch is pretty
large [Ingo, if you're reading this, please have a look at config.sub,
doesn't look correct to me?]. Especially, why have you dropped the
heading? Brecht's guidelines demanded that. Please add your username
instead when you pick up a port and change work-in-progress to
whatever you see fit. Strikethrough text can be achieved by adding ~~
before and after the text. Or you could leave my section intact and
add a new one for your log.
I think it makes a difference whether I edit/remove my text or whether
I remove part of someone else's log. When I had a comment on your
port, I added it inline, marked by --username, rather than editing
your text.
