+# To update ICU version:
+# 1. Update the ICU_VERSION environment variable below.
+# 2. Check the ICU binary URL — is the filename still Ubuntu22.04-x64.tgz?
+#    (e.g., icu4c-78_1-Ubuntu22.04-x64.tgz)
+# 3. Update inflection/CMakeLists.txt:
+#    - Modify `CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS` to match the new ICU version.
