I am developping a (simple) application that needs to have UnicodeData.txt file available. Of course there are more applications that need this file. So far I found these two: perl-modules: /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/unicore/UnicodeData.txt console-data: /usr/share/unidata/UnicodeData-2.1.8.txt (way obsolete)
I was thinking about putting the file into something like /usr/share/unidata (probably with more files, those from /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/unicore/). Moreover, my application can use the file even if it is gzipped, which is obviously desirable. What are your opinions about this? I would rather not want to Depend: on perl-modules (it is a python application :-)), but duplicating /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/unicore/UnicodeData.txt seems a waste of diskspace and bandwidth, and messing up with symlinks in postinst I like even less. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabík http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
