Source: gucharmap
Version: 1:2.30.3-1
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Severity: serious
The source package for gucharmap contains 7 automatically generated files:
gucharmap/unicode-blocks.h
gucharmap/unicode-categories.h
gucharmap/unicode-names.h
gucharmap/unicode-nameslist.h
gucharmap/unicode-scripts.h
gucharmap/unicode-unihan.h
gucharmap/unicode-versions.h
Each of these files contains the following header, making reference to a
script called "gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl":
/* THIS IS A GENERATED FILE. CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN. */
/* Generated by ./gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl */
/* Generated from UCD version 5.2.0 */
I was trying to add support for the new Indian Rupee Symbol (U+20B9), but
the gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl script and the Unicode Character Database,
which form part of gucharmap's source code, were missing from the Debian
source package.
I've marked this bug with a severity of "serious", since it violates the
DFSG requirement that a program include source code, as well as the GPL
requirement that the program be accompanied with its complete corresponding
source code ("the preferred form of the work for making modifications to
it").
My suggestion for fixing this bug is as follows:
1. Include gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl in the gucharmap package;
2. Add unicode-data to the build-dependencies of gucharmap; and
3. Run gen-guch-unicode-tables.pl as part of the build process, using
the UCD from the unicode-data package.
There is some information at http://bugs.debian.org/318304 that may be
helpful in fixing this bug.
