** Description changed: Justification ------------- Unicode 15 was release September 13. This is an annual release. It's expected that the latest Ubuntu will support the latest stable Unicode release. This is required for compatibility with Internet communications with other platforms that will be quickly adopting the new emoji characters. The release happened too late for related upstream releases to happen by Ubuntu's User Interface Freeze on September 15 and be packaged. Therefore, I request a UIFe for Ubuntu 22.10 for Unicode 15 packages. More details ------------ Google released their updated fonts-noto-color-emoji Friday. We also need to update glib so that new non-emoji Unicode characters are handled correctly. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2877 There are probably some other minor universe packages that we should sync from Debian if we see they are related to Unicode 15. I don't have packaging ready for these changes yet but I'm requesting the UIFe early. UI affecting packages ------------------------ fonts-noto-color-emoji glib2.0 Other packages needed but don't affect UI ----------------------------------------- - node-unicode-data utf8proc + node-unicode-property-aliases + node-unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript + node-unicode-property-value-aliases + node-unicode-property-value-aliases-ecmascript + node-unicode-data which will start a small transition + node-esutils + node-json5 + node-regenerate-unicode-properties + node-regexpu-core + node-regjsparser maybe more universe packages Declined changes ---------------- harfbuzz - doesn't appear to be a critical need and our kinetic version is too old. harfbuzz will be updated for Ubuntu 23.04 22.04 LTS --------- We have done SRUs of new fonts-noto-color-emoji releases to older LTSes before. We may do it again but that will be one or more separate bugs.
