# Commands for regenerating ICU4C locale data (.txt files) from CLDR.
#
# The process requires local copies of
# - CLDR (the source of most of the data, and some Java tools)
# - ICU4J (used only for checking the converted data)
# - ICU4C (the destination for the new data, and the source for some of it)
#
# For an official CLDR data integration into ICU, these should be clean, freshly
# checked-out. For released CLDR sources, an alternative to checking out sources
# for a given version is downloading the zipped sources for the common (core.zip)
# and tools (tools.zip) directory subtrees from the Data column in
# [http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads].
#
# The versions of each of these must match. Included with the release notes for
# ICU is the version number and/or a CLDR svn tag name for the revision of CLDR
# that was the source of the data for that release of ICU.
#
# Besides a standard JDK, the process also requires ant
# (http://ant.apache.org/),
# plus the xml-apis.jar from the Apache xalan package
# (http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html).
#
# Note: Enough things can (and will) fail in this process that it is best to
# run the commands separately from an interactive shell. They should all
# copy and paste without problems.
#
# It is often useful to save logs of the output of many of the steps in this
# process. The commands below put log files in /tmp; you may want to put them
# somewhere else.
#
#----
#
# There are several environment variables that need to be defined.
#
# a) Java- and ant-related variables
#
# JAVA_HOME: Path to JDK (a directory, containing e.g. bin/java, bin/javac,
# etc.); on many systems this can be set using
# `/usr/libexec/java_home`.
#
# ANT_OPTS: You may want to set:
#
# -Xmx4096m, to give Java more memory; otherwise it may run out
# of heap.
#
# b) CLDR-related variables
#
# CLDR_DIR: Path to root of CLDR sources, below which are the common and
# tools directories.
# CLDR_CLASSES: Path to the CLDR Tools classes directory. If not set, defaults
# to $CLDR_DIR/tools/java/classes
#
# CLDR_TMP_DIR: Parent of temporary CLDR production data.
# Defaults to $CLDR_DIR/../cldr-aux (sibling to CLDR_DIR).
#
# *** NOTE ***: In CLDR release-36-beta, the GenerateProductionData
# tool no longer generates data into $CLDR_TMP_DIR/production; instead
# it generates data into $CLDR_DIR/../cldr-staging/production. However
# the rest of the build still assumes that the generated data is in
# $CLDR_TMP_DIR/production. So CLDR_TMP_DIR must be defined to be
# $CLDR_DIR/../cldr-staging
#
# c) ICU-related variables
# These variables only need to be set if you're directly reusing the
# commands below.
#
# ICU4C_DIR: Path to root of ICU4C sources, below which is the source dir.
#
# ICU4J_ROOT: Path to root of ICU4J sources, below which is the main dir.
#
#----
#
# If you are adding or removing locales, or specific kinds of locale data,
# there are some xml files in the ICU sources that need to be updated (these xml
# files are used in addition to the CLDR files as inputs to the CLDR data build
# process for ICU):
#
# icu4c/source/data/icu-config.xml - Update <locales> to add or remove
# CLDR locales for inclusion in ICU. Update <paths> to prefer
# alt forms for certain paths, or to exclude certain paths; note
# that <paths> items can only have draft or alt attributes.
#
# Note that if a language-only locale (e.g. "de") is included in
# <locales>, then all region sublocales for that language that
# are present in CLDR data (e.g. "de_AT", "de_BE", "de_CH", etc.)
# should also be included in <locales>, per PMC policy decision
# 2012-05-02 (see http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/9298).
#
# icu4c/source/data/build.xml - If you are adding or removing break
# iterators, you need to update <fileset id="brkitr" ...> under
# <target name="clean" ...> to clean the correct set of files.
#
# If there are new CLDR resource bundle types, you may need to
# updated the <remapper> sections to put these in the correct
# data subfolder for ICU.
#
# icu4c/source/data/xml/ - If you are adding a new locale, break
# iterator, collation tailoring, or rule-based number formatter,
# you may need to add a corresponding xml file in (respectively)
# the main/, brkitr/, collation/, or rbnf/ subdirectory here.
#
#----
#
# For an official CLDR data integration into ICU, there are some additional
# considerations:
#
# a) Don't commit anything in ICU sources (and possibly any changes in CLDR
# sources, depending on their nature) until you have finished testing and
# resolving build issues and test failures for both ICU4C and ICU4J.
#
# b) There are version numbers that may need manual updating in CLDR (other
# version numbers get updated automatically, based on these):
#
# common/dtd/ldml.dtd - update cldrVersion
# common/dtd/ldmlBCP47.dtd - update cldrVersion
# common/dtd/ldmlSupplemental.dtd - update cldrVersion
# common/dtd/ldmlSupplemental.dtd - updateunicodeVersion
# keyboards/dtd/ldmlKeyboard.dtd - update cldrVersion
# tools/java/org/unicode/cldr/util/CLDRFile.java - update GEN_VERSION
#
# c) After everything is committed, you will need to tag the CLDR, ICU4J, and
# ICU4C sources that ended up being used for the integration; see step 17
# below.

################################################################################
# 1a. Java and ant variables, adjust for your system
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
export ANT_OPTS="-Xmx4096m
# 1b. CLDR variables, adjust for your setup; with cygwin it might be e.g.
# CLDR_DIR=`cygpath -wp /build/cldr`
export CLDR_DIR=$HOME/cldr-myfork
# 1c. ICU variables
export ICU4C_DIR=$HOME/icu-myfork/icu4c
export ICU4J_ROOT=$HOME/icu-myfork/icu4j
# 2. Build the CLDR Java tools and jar
cd $CLDR_DIR/tools/java
ant all
ant jar
# 3. Configure ICU4C, build and test without new data first, to verify that
# there are no pre-existing errors. Here <platform> is the runConfigureICU
# code for the platform you are building, e.g. Linux, MacOSX, Cygwin.
cd $ICU4C_DIR/source
./runConfigureICU <platform>
make all 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icu4c-oldData-makeAll.txt
make check 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icu4c-oldData-makeCheck.txt
# 4. Build the new ICU4C data files; these include .txt files and .py files.
# These new files will replace whatever was already present in the ICU4C sources.
# This process uses ant with ICU's data/build.xml and data/icu-config.xml to
# operate (via CLDR's ant/CLDRConverterTool.java and ant/CLDRBuild.java) the
# necessary CLDR tools including LDML2ICUConverter, ConvertTransforms, etc.
# This process will take several minutes.
# Keep a log so you can investigate anything that looks suspicious.
#
# Running "ant setup" is not required, but it will print useful errors to
# debug issues with your path when it fails.
#
cd $ICU4C_DIR/source/data
ant setup
ant clean
ant all 2>&1 | tee /tmp/cldr-newData-buildLog.txt
# NOTE: if you change the CLDR data, please run "ant cleanprod" to clean out the
# temporary production data directory (usually $CLDR_DIR/../cldr-aux/production )
# 5. Check which data files have modifications, which have been added or removed
# (if there are no changes, you may not need to proceed further). Make sure the
# list seems reasonable.
git status
# 6. Fix any errors, investigate any warnings. Currently for example there are
# a few warnings of the following form in rbnf files:
# [cldr-build] Warning: no version match with: $Revision☹$
#
# Fixing may entail modifying CLDR source data or tools - for example,
# updating the validSubLocales for collation data (file a bug if appropriate).
# Repeat steps 4-5 until there are no build errors and no unexpected
# warnings.
# 7. Now rebuild ICU4C with the new data and run make check tests.
# Again, keep a log so you can investigate the errors.
cd $ICU4C_DIR/source
# 7a. If any files were added or removed (likely), re-run configure:
./runConfigureICU <platform>
make clean
# 7b. Now do the rebuild.
make check 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icu4c-newData-makeCheck.txt
# 8. Investigate each test case failure. The first run processing new CLDR data
# from the Survey Tool can result in thousands of failures (in many cases, one
# CLDR data fix can resolve hundreds of test failures). If the error is caused
# by bad CLDR data, then file a CLDR bug, fix the data, and regenerate from
# step 4. If the data is OK but the testcase needs to be updated because the
# data has legitimately changed, then update the testcase. You will check in
# the updated testcases along with the new ICU data at the end of this process.
# Note that if the new data has any differences in structure, you will have to
# update test/testdata/structLocale.txt or /tsutil/cldrtest/TestLocaleStructure
# may fail.
# Repeat steps 4-7 until there are no errors.
# 9. Now run the make check tests in exhaustive mode:
cd $ICU4C_DIR/source
export INTLTEST_OPTS="-e"
export CINTLTST_OPTS="-e"
make check 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icu4c-newData-makeCheckEx.txt
# 10. Again, investigate each failure, fixing CLDR data or ICU test cases as
# appropriate, and repeating steps 4-7 and 9 until there are no errors.
# 11. Now with ICU4J, build and test without new data first, to verify that
# there are no pre-existing errors (or at least to have the pre-existing errors
# as a base for comparison):
cd $ICU4J_ROOT
ant all 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icu4j-oldData-antAll.txt
ant check 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icu4j-oldData-antCheck.txt
# 12. Transfer the data to ICU4J:
cd $ICU4C_DIR/source
# 12a. You need to reconfigure ICU4C to include the unicore data.
ICU_DATA_BUILDTOOL_OPTS=--include_uni_core_data ./runConfigureICU <platform>
# 12b. Now build the jar files.
cd $ICU4C_DIR/source/data
# The following 2 lines are required to include the unicore data:
make clean
make -j6
make icu4j-data-install
cd $ICU4C_DIR/source/test/testdata
make icu4j-data-install
# 13. Now rebuild ICU4J with the new data and run tests:
# Keep a log so you can investigate the errors.
cd $ICU4J_ROOT
ant check 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icu4j-newData-antCheck.txt
# 14. Investigate test case failures; fix test cases and repeat from step 12,
# or fix CLDR data and repeat from step 4, as appropriate, until there are no
# more failures in ICU4C or ICU4J (except failures that were present before you
# began testing the new CLDR data).
# Note that certain data changes and related test failures may require the
# rebuilding of other kinds of data. For example:
# a) Changes to locale matching data may cause failures in e.g. the following:
# com.ibm.icu.dev.test.util.LocaleDistanceTest (testLoadedDataSameAsBuiltFromScratch)
# com.ibm.icu.dev.test.util.LocaleMatcherTest (testLikelySubtagsLoadedDataSameAsBuiltFromScratch)
# To address these requires building and running the tool
# icu4j/tools/misc/src/com/ibm/icu/dev/tool/locale/LocaleDistanceBuilder.java
# to regenerate the file icu4c/source/data/misc/langInfo.txt and then regenerating
# the ICU4J data jars.
# b) Changes to plurals data may cause failures in e.g. the following
# com.ibm.icu.dev.test.format.PluralRulesTest (TestLocales)
# To address these requires updating the LOCALE_SNAPSHOT data in
# icu4j/main/tests/core/src/com/ibm/icu/dev/test/format/PluralRulesTest.java
# by modifying the TestLocales() test there to run generateLOCALE_SNAPSHOT() and then
# copying in the updated data.
# 15. Check the file changes; then git add or git rm as necessary, and
# commit the changes.
cd $HOME/icu/
cd ..
git status
# add or remove as necessary
# commit
# 16. For an official CLDR data integration into ICU, now tag the CLDR and
# ICU sources with an appropriate CLDR milestone (you can check previous
# tags for format), e.g.:
svn copy svn+ssh://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk \
svn+ssh://unicode.org/repos/cldr/tags/release-NNN \
--parents -m "cldrbug nnnn: tag cldr sources for NNN"
cd $HOME/icu/
git tag ...
