43 * Make wamerican no longer depend on dictionaries-common, while
44 using its features if present: (Closes: #487977).
45 - wamerican.links: Install /usr/share/dict/words link to
47 - wamerican.post{inst,rm}: Run dictionaries-common stuff only
49 - wamerican.config: Check that dictionaries-common is installed
50 and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying
52 - debian/rules: Do not auto-generate maintainer scripts for
53 wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
54 installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the
55 wordlists, moving both to the install target.
56 - debian/control: Remove dictionaries-common dependency and
57 include a conflicts against dictionaries-common (<< 0.98) where
58 /usr/share/dict/words link diversion is included.
60 - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No changes needed.
61 - Moved debhelper dependency from Build-Depends-Indep to
62 Build-Depends. debhelper is required to run the clean target
63 of debian/rules (Policy Manual, section 7.6).

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

149 scowl (5-1) unstable; urgency=low
151 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
152 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
153 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
154 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
155 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
156 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
157 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
158 better quality, and is supported upstream.
159 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
160 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
161 following binary packages:
162 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
163 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
164 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
166 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
167 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
168 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words
169 Closes: #165251: wbritish: Missing word ('behemoth')
170 Closes: #176875: Gullible isn't in the dictionary
171 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard
172 Closes: #175906: wenglish: should be called wamerican
173 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
174 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
175 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
176 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
177 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
178 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
179 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
180 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
181 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
182 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
183 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
