Title:
UIFe: fonts-noto-color-emoji & other updates for Unicode 15
Status in fonts-noto-color-emoji package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
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
-----------------------------------------
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.

I don't believe translators need to be notified about this UIFe but
let me know if I should email them anyway.
