Source: boost1.74 Severity: normal Usertags: embed Unicode 14 was released and unicode-data 14.0.0-1.1 was uploaded.
The boost1.74 source package contains very very outdated embedded data copies of several files from Unicode 5.2.0: $ head -n1 libs/spirit/workbench/unicode/*.txt ==> libs/spirit/workbench/unicode/DerivedCoreProperties.txt <== # DerivedCoreProperties-5.2.0.txt ==> libs/spirit/workbench/unicode/PropList.txt <== # PropList-5.2.0.txt ==> libs/spirit/workbench/unicode/Scripts.txt <== # Scripts-5.2.0.txt ==> libs/spirit/workbench/unicode/UnicodeData.txt <== 0000;<control>;Cc;0;BN;;;;;N;NULL;;;; Upstream appears to have converted those files into these files using before releasing the tarball. libs/spirit/include/boost/spirit/home/support/char_encoding/unicode/script_table.hpp libs/spirit/include/boost/spirit/home/support/char_encoding/unicode/uppercase_table.hpp libs/spirit/include/boost/spirit/home/support/char_encoding/unicode/category_table.hpp libs/spirit/include/boost/spirit/home/support/char_encoding/unicode/lowercase_table.hpp libs/spirit/include/boost/spirit/home/support/char_encoding/unicode/query.hpp Most of these were generated using the create_tables code, which is in the source package but is not built and run during the build process. $ grep -r create_tables debian/copyright: libs/spirit/workbench/unicode/create_tables.cpp $ grep -C5 AUTO libs/spirit/workbench/unicode/create_tables.cpp << " Copyright (c) 2001-2011 Joel de Guzman\n" << "\n" << " Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.

Please ask upstream to remove the above files from the source package and instead build-depend on the unicode-data binary package and convert the relevant files to headers at build time. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
