Hi all, Unicode 7.0 was recently released. I discovered some source packages contain outdated copies of various Unicode data files. At minimum, the following packages embed part of the Unicode data (UnicodeData.txt). There are probably many more embedding different parts of the Unicode data, renaming files or converting the Unicode data to other formats and removing the original formats but I haven't investigated that far yet. Please ask your upstreams to remove the Unicode data files from their version control systems and source tarballs and instead check for and use external Unicode data files at build-time or run-time. Then your packages can Build-Depend or Depend on the unicode-data binary package. If your package converts the Unicode data to another format at build time you should add a Built-Using header to the relevant binary packages. The fntsample package is an example of how to do this. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-built-using http://sources.debian.net/src/fntsample/latest/debian/rules http://sources.debian.net/src/fntsample/latest/debian/control Alastair McKinstry <mckinstry@debian.org> slang2 Andreas Rottmann <rotty@debian.org> libunistring Andreas Tille <tille@debian.org> icu4j (U) Anibal Monsalve Salazar <anibal@debian.org> libidn (U) Anthony Prades <toony.debian@chezouam.net> cyrus-imapd-2.4 (U) Barak A.
