Change to use 5.1 Unicode file versions

[p5sagit/p5-mst-13.2.git] / lib / unicore / README.perl

The *.txt files were copied from


	http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.1.0/ucd

as of Unicode 5.1.0 (March 2008).

The two big files, NormalizationTest.txt (2 MB) and Unihan.txt (28 MB,
5.8 MB zip) were not included due to space considerations.  Also NOT
included were any *.html files and the Derived*.txt files

    DerivedAge.txt
    DerivedCoreProperties.txt
    DerivedNormalizationProps.txt

or any files from subdirectories.

To be 8.3 filesystem friendly, the lib/unicore/PropertyValueAliases.txt was
renamed to be lib/unicore/PropValueAliases.txt and the
lib/unicore/NamedSequencesProv.txt was renamed to be
lib/unicore/NamedSqProv.txt, since otherwise they would have
conflicted with lib/unicore/PropertyAliases.txt and
lib/unicore/NamedSequences.txt.

NOTE: If you modify the input file set you should also run
 
    mktables -makelist
    
which will recreate the mktables.lst file which is used to speed up
the build process.    

FOR PUMPKINS

The files are inter-related.  If you take the latest UnicodeData.txt, for example,
but leave the older versions of other files, there can be subtle problems.

The *.pl files are generated from the *.txt files by the mktables script,
more recently done during the Perl build process, but if you want to try
the old manual way:
	
	cd lib/unicore
	cp .../UnicodeOriginal/*.txt .
	rm NormalizationTest.txt Unihan.txt Derived*.txt
	p4 edit Properties *.pl */*.pl
	perl ./mktables
	p4 revert -a
	cd ../..
	perl Porting/manicheck

You need to update version by hand

	p4 edit version
	...
	
If any new (or deleted, unlikely but not impossible) *.pl files are indicated:

	cd lib/unicore
	p4 add ...
	p4 delete ...
	cd ../...
	p4 edit MANIFEST
	...

And finally:

	p4 submit
