Description of problem: The Dejavu-fonts fail to meet buildrequires to compile due to missing file: /usr/share/perl5/unicore/UnicodeData.txt This file was offered by Perl in previous releases but seems to be missing in Perl 5.14 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.33 How reproducible: Try and rebuild dejavu-fonts with Perl version 5.14.1-187 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure your build environment has Perl version 5.14.1-187 2. try and build dejavu-fonts from src rpm 3. watch it complain about missing buildrequires even though Perl is installed Actual results: BuildRequires not met, failed build Expected results: Perl should provide missing file again or BuildRequires should be changes in spec file for dejavu-fonts Additional info:
Drat, did the perl guys move the file elsewhere? Because I don't relish the thought of packaging it separately (I know where the unicode consortium publishes it, but the legal aspects are unpleasant)
Perl 5.14 has removed some files from .../unicore/ in an effort to trim it (according to git logs) from 17M to 7M. Blocks.txt has survived, but UnicodeData.txt is no longer shipped. Other existing providers of UnicodeData.txt on F16 are: boost-devel mingw32-boost moodle Unfortunately, none of these also contain Blocks.txt.
(In reply to comment #1) > Because I don't relish the > thought of packaging it separately (I know where the unicode consortium > publishes it, but the legal aspects are unpleasant) I've just taken a look at the Unicode terms of use: http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html and the license (Exhibit 1 on that page), which according to this message: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2009-February/000540.html is MIT. So, packaging the data could be useful to us?

That's a nice change. IIRC it was not always so (that's why I piggybacked on perl originally) > So, packaging the data could be useful to us? Yes. That would help dejavu, but also all the packages that ship unicode definitions, and could be cleaned up to use a central package (that could be synced with unicode releases instead of each package shipping obsolete definitions) If you feel like doing some resource packaging http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap/CMap+Resources is also duplicated everywhere Otherwise I'll just package unicode data next time dejavu does a release and I need to rebuild the package
Ok I packaged Unicode UCD in bug 757290 if anyone wants to help review it. :)
Fixed in dejavu-fonts-2.33-2.fc16 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=276334
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
