62 and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying

65 wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
66 installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the

70 /usr/share/dict/words link diversion is included.
72 - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No changes needed.

101 Closes: #333207 wamerican-large: new upstream release 6 available
102 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
103 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
104 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
105 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
106 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
108 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
109 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
110 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
111 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
112 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
113 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
114 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

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

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