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

74 * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.2. No changes needed.
75 * debian/compat now is 5.
76 * Apply patch from Tom Parker <debian@tevp.net>, to stop Scowl generated
77 packages to erronously depend on debconf twice, and to allow for
78 debconf-2.0 as an alternate, thus blocking the cedebconf transition

92 * New upstream release.
93 Closes: #333207 wamerican-large: new upstream release 6 available
94 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
95 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
96 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
97 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
98 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
100 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
101 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
102 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
103 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
104 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
105 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
106 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.
107 If Microsoft is there (it is), we should be too ;).
108 Closes: #327749: wamerican: should include "debian" in wordlist
110 - standards version 3.6.2 (no changes required)

112 Closes: #322072 wenglish: Dummy package still needed?
113 Closes: #286583 wenglish: typo in package description
114 * debian/copyright: updated copyright (some additions from
115 latest upstream README).

135 thanks to Leonardo Rochael Almeida for noticing and reporting it.
136 Closes: #201564: s/wenglish/wbritish/ in package description
137 * added wenglish.preinst, to remove the obsolete "wenglish"
138 debconf choice, now that wamerican has replaced wenglish.

140 why this solution is not perfect.

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