Hi,
Hi
 I've noticed that Japan renews its era from 平成 (Heisei) to 令和 (Reiwa)
 (U+32FF) at 1st May and it's necessary to update some packages to deal
 with it.

 How do we handle with it for buster? (and stretch?)

 Some packages list to be updated as far as I know
 Please let me know if you've noticed more

[2] Unicode 12.1 contains "令和"

unicode-data in Buster is currently at 11.0.0; there being a major release upstream 12.0.0 just after Buster freeze.

I've uploaded 12.0.0 to unstable; 12.1 is not officially released yet. unicode-data itself is small and easy to validate, but the following packages will need to be rebuilt as they build-depend on unicode-data (and typically hard-code the tables internally):

  • ibus
  • node-unicode-tr51
  • julia
  • node-unicode-property-aliases
  • node-unicode-property-value-aliases
  • cyrus-imapd
  • libxmlada
  • courier-unicode
  • node-unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript
  • wine
  • slang2
  • re2
  • fntsample
  • console-data
  • wine-development
  • utf8proc
  • node-unicode-property-value-aliases-ecmascript
  • gucharmap
  • node-unicode-data
  • fonttools
  • wcwidth
  • jing-trang

I'm suprised to see unicode-data 12.0.0 transition to testing today; I had expected it to be blocked, and was testing all the reverse-deps (listed above).

I've tested them all against 12.1.0~pre1-1 (in experimental, with the Reiwa changes).  They work, except for:

libxmlada, utf8proc, gucharmap,  node-unicode-data. julia also failed for me, but on a local(?) unrelated issue.

The errors:

gucharmap:

This needs updating by ./gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl, which fails on:

Time to go file RC bugs.

Also, I plan to push 12.1.0~pre-1 from experimental to unstable.

Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase “The innocent have nothing to fear,”
 believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term
 even more from those who say things like “The innocent have nothing to fear.”
