Bug#927958: [pre-a] unblock: utf8proc/2.3.0-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package utf8proc
(explain the reason for the unblock here)
I'm astonished that the unicode (11.* -> 12.*) transition happend at
such a deep freeze stage. utf8proc is tightly coupled with the
unicode-data version, and the new unicode-data version incured FTBFS:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=927941
The simplest way to fix this bug is to bump utf8proc to 2.3.0
(include/attach the debdiff against the package in testing)
According to upstream NEWs/changelog
https://github.com/JuliaStrings/utf8proc/commit/eb39b060e7e518941a912e1f51bae1cc6316f547
And the commit history (97ef668 -> 454f601)
https://github.com/JuliaStrings/utf8proc/commits/master
The major change from 2.2.0 (testing) to 2.3.0 (not yet packaged)
is the support for unicode-data (= 12). There is no breaking change.
So I request an unblock for 2.3.0-1
unblock utf8proc/2.3.0-1
