100 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
101 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
102 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
103 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
104 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
106 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
107 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
108 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
109 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
110 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
111 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
112 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

159 scowl (5-1) unstable; urgency=low
161 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
162 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
163 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
164 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
165 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
166 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
167 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
168 better quality, and is supported upstream.
169 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
170 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
171 following binary packages:
172 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
173 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
174 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
176 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
177 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
178 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words
179 Closes: #165251: wbritish: Missing word ('behemoth')

181 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard
182 Closes: #175906: wenglish: should be called wamerican
183 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
184 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
185 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
186 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
187 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
188 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
189 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
190 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
191 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
192 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
193 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
