Description Christian Persch 2021-10-11 09:06:25 UTC
Description of problem:
The gucharmap 14.0.0 package was built against the unicode 13 data. This is obviously wrong, and not supported upstream. (Gucharmap N.x.y required exactly unicode N data.)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
14.0.0-1.fc33


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gucharmap
2. Look up a character that's new in unicode 14, e.g. U+2E5D

Actual results:
Character shows up as unassigned (as it was in unicode 13).


Expected results:
Character info is shown.

Comment 1 Alexander Ploumistos 2021-10-11 10:19:37 UTC
Hello Christian,

unicode-ucd on which gucharmap depends has not been updated to version 14 in F33 and in all likelihood, it probably won't be, as F33 will be EOL'd in a month or so. If you can get the maintainer of unicode-ucd to bump the release, I can rebuild it against the proper version.

Comment 2 Christian Persch 2021-10-11 10:44:46 UTC
I think the same affects all the other builds too, e.g. for F36 where the build logs [https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/gucharmap/14.0.0/1.fc36/data/logs/x86_64/root.log] indicate that unicode-ucd 13.0.0-4 was installed for the build.

I've filed https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gucharmap/-/issues/486 upstream to make the build hard fail when building against the incorrect unicode data version.

Comment 3 Alexander Ploumistos 2021-10-11 19:50:22 UTC
I've asked the maintainer of unicode-ucd if it is possible to update the package in stable fedora versions - it was updated in F35 and F36 13 days after my last build of gucharmap.
I'll report here once I get a reply.

Comment 4 Christian Persch 2021-10-11 20:09:45 UTC
An alternative would be to downgrade gucharmap to 13.0.x there if unicode-ucd 14 can't come to them.

I think that for the downgrade to work I will need to use the Epoch tag, and I would really like to avoid that, if at all possible.

Comment 6 Alexander Ploumistos 2021-10-16 20:32:40 UTC
While waiting for a reply from Jens, I have fired off a rebuild of gucharmap in F35 and F36, so that it picks up the correct version of unicode-ucd.
I've also added
BuildRequires:  unicode-ucd >= %{version}
to its spec file so that the build fails if the versions of gucharmap and unicode-ucd (and unicode-ucd-unihan) don't match.

I'll submit the updates once the builds are done.

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2021-10-18 03:19:11 UTC
Sorry for the trouble here...

I guess it should be okay to backport unicode-ucd 14 to F34 and F33.
I usually do that in the past, but had left it to be done gradually.

No worries.
If you build unicode-ucd in side tags, will I be able to use the same tags to build gucharmap? Do we need commit rights in each other's repos in order to submit a single update for each branch?

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2021-10-18 11:04:45 UTC
Ah I already built for F34 - I can do override tags if you want to build asap.

I think gucharmap doesn't have a runtime dependency on unicode-ucd, right?

Could I use the same buildroot override?


> I think gucharmap doesn't have a runtime dependency on unicode-ucd, right?

Right, it's a build time dependency.

Comment 11 Jens Petersen 2021-10-18 15:54:13 UTC
You should be able to build for f33 and f34 now: the unicode-ucd builds should both be in the buildroots now.
