/usr/share/misc/unicode is very outdated: it corresponds to Unicode 4.0.1 from March 2004. And probably "unicode" should be added to the miscfiles LICENSE.
Created attachment 180672 [details, diff] miscfiles-1.4.2-unicode-5.1.0.patch Patch to update it to Unicode 5.1.0.
Unicode 5.2.0 is out, and the updated patch is too large to attach. See here: <http://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/distfiles/miscfiles-1.4.2-unicode-5.2.0.patch.bz2> Any reason why this cannot be committed? The file was updated in the upstream CVS repo (not yet to 5.2.0 though).
it hasnt been updated because no one cares the patch is more than 50% the size of the original file. at this point (and to make things simple), why not change the ebuild to download the original file, and/or a compressed version of the original file ? then it's easy for people to figure out how to update the package.
Right, I've also thought about this. However, the bzip2-compressed patch is only 69 kB, while UnicodeData.txt has a size of 1.2 MB, and it looks like there's only an uncompressed version available upstream. We could put a compressed unicode file (160 kB) on Gentoo mirrors of course, but it has no real advantage when updating the package.
lzma one is only 100kB :p i'm not going to sweat that file size difference considering downloading & updating a newer version of the unicode file is a lot easier to do than creating a diff.

thanks, looks fine
I've just noticed that the ebuild had also installed the GNU-manifesto twice, one in /usr/share/misc and one in /usr/share/doc/${PF}. I've fixed this too (don't install it in doc).
