Bug#318304: gucharmap: how to update to unicode 4.1.0

[Martin Hawlisch]

Hi!

After some googeling I found out that updating gucharmap to display all
unicode 4.1.0 characters is really simple.
This is what I did:


# I'm using wget to download some files
sudo apt-get install wget

# Get the current source package
sudo apt-get build-dep gucharmap
cd /tmp
apt-get source gucharmap

# Get the required unicode data
cd gucharmap-1.4.3/gucharmap/
mkdir unicode
cd unicode
wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt
wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NamesList.txt
wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Unihan.zip
wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Scripts.txt

# Update source code. CVS has a script that generates the unicode data files
cd ..
wget
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gucharmap/gucharmap/gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl
perl gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl 4.1.0 unicode

# Now you can rebuild the package with first removing the downloaded files
rm -r unicode
rm gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl
cd ..
debuild -us -uc

# Done!


Please rebuild the package!

Cheers,
  Martin.
