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

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

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

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

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