Bug 102187 – app-text/unicode-0.4.8.ebuild (New Package)

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Qiangning Hong 2005-08-11 21:06:52 UTC]

Hi!

Please find attached unicode-0.4.7.ebuild.

unicode is a simple python command line utility that displays properties for a
given unicode character, or searches unicode database for a given name.  It is a
handy utility.  Use it you can easily find the name or code number of the
unicode character(s) you want.

For example, as I am writing my .conkyrc or .torsmorc, I need to put a celsius
sign right after my CPU temperature value.  Use this tool, simply type:

$ unicode celsius
U+2103 DEGREE CELSIUS
UTF-8: e2 84 83   UTF-16BE: 2103   Decimal: ℃
℃
Category: So (Symbol, Other)
Bidi: ON (Other Neutrals)
Decomposition: <compat> 00B0 0043

Now I get the code number (U+2103) with various encoding, even I can copy/paste
the character directy from the output.

I suggest app-text/unicode.

[Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-08-18 12:32:25 UTC]

Please fix the following and reopen:

* DESCRIPTION is too long.
* You may wish to use versionator.eclass instead of bash substitution for MY_P.
* Use-conditional atoms in DEPEND should be inside ( parens ).
* Too many blank lines!
* ${S}, ${D} etc should be quoted.
* You can do use blah && do_one_thing rather than the full if blocks.
* No need to dodoc COPYING.
* Versioned virtual dependencies are highly frowned upon.

Thank Ciaran McCreesh.  I've fixed the errors and so I reopen this bug.

[Comment 6 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-08-19 08:25:10 UTC]

Sorry, one other thing I missed the first time around:

* In SRC_URI, the format for conditional parts is "use_flag? ( component )". The
parens should always be included.

Please reopen with an updated ebuild and then I'll tag this as reviewed. Thanks

Thank Ciaran McCreesh again.  I've added the parens thus I reopen this bug.

unicode-0.6 is out!
Changing the ebuild filename to unicode-0.6.ebuild works for me.

Ebuild for version 0.9

Rewrote original ebuild for new version with several changes:
- changed description to something cleaner (Debian description)
- changed license to GPL-3
- a new program got bundled with it - paracode (well, better than 2rot13)
- downloading of UnicodeData.txt ruled by the unicode USE flag
A patch is forthcoming, too.

unicode-0.9-gentooPerlPath.patch

The patch adds the path pattern for perl's copy of UnicodeData.txt on gentoo that may be used for search speedups (if not installed with this package).

I'll look into packaging it.

Is it your github account?

It appears to be an obsolete project. Let's move on.
