Debian build files for icu 74.2 with a patch to fix CVE-2025-5222
You need to download and extract icu_74.2.orig.tar.gz to set up your source tree.
Clone this repo somewhere with the following command :-
git clone https://github.com/berkley4/icu-74-debian
Copy the debian folder from the cloned repo to your icu source directory, eg :-
cp -a icu-74-debian/debian icu/
Change into the icu source tree and start building the icu deb files :-
cd icu
DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=abi=+time64 dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
End users, eg those who have downloaded my ungoogled chromium debs, need to install :-
libicu74_74.2-1_amd64.deb
Builders need to install the following debs :-
libicu74_74.2-1_amd64.deb libicu-dev_74.2-1_amd64.deb icu-devtools_74.2-1_amd64.deb
