Fwd: CLDR 1.2a+ in ICU format, tools

ICU users,
    As you might be aware, the next release of ICU will have all locale 
and collation data built from the CLDR project ( 
http://www.unicode.org/cldr ).  CLDR has shipped an alpha of its 
version 1.2, and to facilitate testing, I have created an interim drop 
of CLDR data in ICU for C format.  (Java data can be built from that 
data using the normal process.)
    Also listed below are instructions for performing this build of ICU 
data yourself.

   Please don't ask CLDR questions on the ICU list, if you are 
interested in CLDR please see the CLDR web site (above). I'm forwarding 
this mail as a service for those who might be interested in CLDR.

   If you have questions or comments on this email, please contact me 
directly.

Since most of the tests on CLDR data involve ICU at this stage, I have 
made available a drop of data in this form:

Here is a drop of the current CLDR 1.2a+ data:
   * without draft data
   * without alternates
   Note, ICU tests do not pass yet with this data.

GENERATING YOUR OWN ICU FORMAT DATA FROM CLDR  (on UNIX platforms, not 
yet Cygwin)

Paraphrasing from the CLDR wiki ( 
http://www.jtcsv.com/cgibin/cldrwiki.pl?CldrTools ) :

see http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/ and 
http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu4j/
* Checkout the latest ICU tree (including locale) from CVS so that the 
'icu' directory (containing source) is parallel to the 'locale' 
directory
* Checkout the latest ICU4J tree from CVS
* build ICU4J according to its instructions,  run  'ant tools'  to 
build the tools. You will have a 'classes' directory.
* In ICU4C, create the file icu/source/data/locales/reslocal.mk 
containing the single line:

          include ../../../locale/tools/cldrres.mk

    This will include the named file which is located in the CLDR tree.
* Then in the icu/source/data directory, run:       make cldr-clean-old 
; make -k
* You might see some errs for parts of ICU not built yet, but you 
should end up with  .txt files (after quite some processing time - 30 
minutes to hours)
