Dear Jed maintainers,
to make the ch_table.sl character picker more useful for unicode, I made
use of two description files from the Unicode Character Database:
Blocks.txt
NamesList.txt
They can be download from http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA
and are under
Copyright (c) 1991-2005 Unicode, Inc.
For terms of use, see http://www.unicode.org/terms_of_use.html
The Debian package 'perl-modules' provides these files under
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/unicore/Blocks.txt
where -- unfortunately -- 5.10.0 is a running version number.
What shall we do:
* ship these files with jed-extra
- keep a copy in the upstream archive, or
- download separately with rule get-orig-source
* use the files from perl-modules:
- recommend perl-modules
- a specific version?
- ask the perl-modules' maintainers to place the 'unicore' dir in a
permanent and accessible place?
and set the custom-vars to the path in /etc/jed.d/50jed-extra.sl
* ask for the 'unicore' data to be put in a separate package.
* let the user set the custom-vars to either a downloaded version or
a version from perl-modules.
