Downloading updates to CLDR

A Mix task, cldr.download is available for downloading the latest CLDR repository. This task performs the following:

  • Download the CLDR latest repository into the /downloads directory of /deps/cldr

  • Adds /downloads to .gitignore

  • unzips the downloaded files

  • Uses the downloaded java app ldml2json app to translate the xml files to json in the /deps/cldr/data directory

  • Removes redundant package.json and bower.json files from the /deps/cldr/data directory
