37 * Make wamerican no longer depend on dictionaries-common, while

43 - wamerican.config: Check that dictionaries-common is installed
44 and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying
46 - debian/rules: Do not auto-generate maintainer scripts for
47 wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
48 installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the
49 wordlists, moving both to the install target.
50 - debian/control: Remove dictionaries-common dependency and
51 include a conflicts against dictionaries-common (<< 0.98) where
52 /usr/share/dict/words link diversion is included.
54 - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No changes needed.
55 - Moved debhelper dependency from Build-Depends-Indep to
56 Build-Depends. debhelper is required to run the clean target
57 of debian/rules (Policy Manual, section 7.6).

86 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new

90 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
91 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

93 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
94 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
95 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
96 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

145 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
146 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
147 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
148 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
149 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
150 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
151 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
152 better quality, and is supported upstream.
153 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
154 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
155 following binary packages:
156 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
157 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
158 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,

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