There are also "Reiwa" related packages other than ICU.

* Mozc

Mozc should support conversion "reiwa" to "ไปคๅ’Œ",
and common era to Reiwa era.

Debdiffs for disco/cosmic/bionic/xenial are already uploaded a week ago.

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozc/+bug/1823444

Is current state waiting tob published to proposed pocket?

* LibreOffice

LibreOffice supports to display Reiwa era in 6.2.3 (eoan).
Will be disco/6.2.2 SRU'd to 6.2.3?

Debdiffs for bionic/6.0.7 and xenial/5.1.6 are already uploaded by
ikuya-san.

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1827451

And Reiwa patch now imported to upstream 6.1.x branch.
If 6.1.6 will be released, we can SRU for cosmic/6.1.5 too.


https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-6-1&id=39de7d73fdab86a1531f19076ab1d07fcff97b55

* Noto Sans CJK

Noto Sans CJK V2.001 is released to support Reiwa's ligature (U+32FF).

  https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-cjk/releases/tag/NotoSansV2.001

New upstream release bug is already filed in Debian.

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=926753

Generating diff of font package is difficult, we should do SRU for stable
releases.
However fonts-noto-cjk package affects Chinese and Korean users,
if we do SRU, we needs to consult these users.

* OpenJDK

OpenJDK support Reiwa in 8u212-b02, 11.0.3+7, 12.0.1.

  xenial: 8u191-b12 / -
  bionic: 8u191-b12 / 11.0.2+9
  cosmic: 8u191-b12 / 11.0.2+9
  disco: 8u212-b01 / 11.0.3+7
  eoan: 8u212-b03 / 11.0.3+7

8u212 has security fix. Should be update xenial/bionic/cosmic too?

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1826001

How about OpenJDK 11 should be updated?

* glibc

glibc already fixed several branches.

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22964

Ubuntu imports these fixes in disco and eoan only.

However I think this fix is not so important for older releases.

* ICU

Just for reference:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1677093

* unicode

Unicode 12.1 will be released in the nera future.

  https://unicode.org/versions/Unicode12.1.0/

This release just add "U+32FF SQUARE ERA NAME REIWA".

unicode package will affects this release.


* poppler-data

The Adobe-Japan1-6 Character Collection specification is updated to
Adobe-Japan1-7.

  https://blogs.adobe.com/CCJKType/2018/08/aj17-subset-fonts.html

poppler-data and other cmap file packages may need to update
for TeX and PDF viewer.

For example, following is poppler-data's ticket.

Yes. Some SRU team member needs to review and start the builds for 
-proposed.

Yeah, the changes compared to our current version 1.001 seem to be 
non-trivial.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googlefonts/noto-cjk/master/HISTORY

I'd suggest that we sync to eoan from Debian experimental once it has 
been packaged there, and then start with evaluating version 2.001 on 
eoan. If we don't hit any important issues, SRUing to bionic+ ought to 
be doable. Probably, as you say, we should involve Chinese and Korean 
users for testing the -proposed packages before they are moved to -updates.

Second thoughts: I uploaded Hiroaki Nakamura's proposal to a PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/fonts-noto-cjk

So you may want to call for testing right away. Maybe file a bug report 
for the purpose, subscribe e.g. Ubuntu CJK Testers and Ubuntu 
{Japanese,Korean} Team, and ask them to install from the PPA and report 
their findings.
