lib/unicore/README.perl

   1 The *.txt files were copied from
   2
   3         http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.1.0/ucd
   4
   5 and subdirectories 'extracted' and 'auxiliary' as of Unicode 5.1.0 (March 2008).
   6
   7 The big file, Unihan.txt (28 MB, 5.8 MB zip) was not included due to space
   8 considerations.  Also NOT included were any *.html files and *Test.txt files.
   9
  10 To be 8.3 filesystem friendly, the names of some of the input files have been
  11 changed from the values that are in the Unicode DB:
  12
  13 mv PropertyValueAliases.txt PropValueAliases.txt
  14 mv NamedSequencesProv.txt NamedSqProv.txt
  15 mv DerivedAge.txt DAge.txt
  16 mv DerivedCoreProperties.txt DCoreProperties.txt
  17 mv DerivedNormalizationProps.txt DNormalizationProps.txt
  18 mv extracted/DerivedBidiClass.txt extracted/DBidiClass.txt
  19 mv extracted/DerivedBinaryProperties.txt extracted/DBinaryProperties.txt
  20 mv extracted/DerivedCombiningClass.txt extracted/DCombiningClass.txt
  21 mv extracted/DerivedDecompositionType.txt extracted/DDecompositionType.txt
  22 mv extracted/DerivedEastAsianWidth.txt extracted/DEastAsianWidth.txt
  23 mv extracted/DerivedGeneralCategory.txt extracted/DGeneralCategory.txt
  24 mv extracted/DerivedJoiningGroup.txt extracted/DJoinGroup.txt
  25 mv extracted/DerivedJoiningType.txt extracted/DJoinType.txt
  26 mv extracted/DerivedLineBreak.txt extracted/DLineBreak.txt
  27 mv extracted/DerivedNumericType.txt extracted/DNumType.txt
  28 mv extracted/DerivedNumericValues.txt extracted/DNumValues.txt
  29
  30 The names of files, such as test files, that are not used by mktables are not
  31 changed, and will not work correctly on 8.3 filesystems.
  32
  33 The file 'version' should exist and be a single line with the Unicode version,
  34 like
  35 5.1.0
  36
  37 NOTE: If you modify the input file set you should also run
  38
  39     mktables -makelist
  40
  41 which will recreate the mktables.lst file which is used to speed up
  42 the build process.
  43
  44 FOR PUMPKINS
  45
  46 The files are inter-related.  If you take the latest UnicodeData.txt, for example,
  47 but leave the older versions of other files, there can be subtle problems.
  48
  49 The *.pl files are generated from the *.txt files by the mktables script,
  50 more recently done during the Perl build process, but if you want to try
  51 the old manual way:
  52
  53         cd lib/unicore
  54         cp .../UnicodeOriginal/*.txt .
  55         rm NormalizationTest.txt Unihan.txt Derived*.txt
  56         p4 edit Properties *.pl */*.pl
  57         perl ./mktables
  58         p4 revert -a
  59         cd ../..
  60         perl Porting/manicheck
  61
  62 You need to update version by hand
  63
  64         p4 edit version
  65         ...
  66
  67 If any new (or deleted, unlikely but not impossible) *.pl files are indicated:
  68
  69         cd lib/unicore
  70         p4 add ...
  71         p4 delete ...
  72         cd ../...
  73         p4 edit MANIFEST
  74         ...
  75
  76 And finally:
  77
  78         p4 submit
