12 * Non-maintainer upload.
13 * Make wamerican no longer depend on dictionaries-common, while
14 using its features if present: (Closes: #487977).
15 - wamerican.links: Install /usr/share/dict/words link to
17 - wamerican.post{inst,rm}: Run dictionaries-common stuff only
19 - wamerican.config: Check that dictionaries-common is installed
20 and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying
22 - debian/rules: Do not auto-generate maintainer scripts for
23 wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
24 installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the
25 wordlists, moving both to the install target.
26 - debian/control: Remove dictionaries-common dependency and
27 include a conflicts against dictionaries-common (<< 0.98) where
28 /usr/share/dict/words link diversion is included.
30 - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No changes needed.
31 - Moved debhelper dependency from Build-Depends-Indep to
32 Build-Depends. debhelper is required to run the clean target
33 of debian/rules (Policy Manual, section 7.6).

41 * debian/compat now is 5.
42 * Apply patch from Tom Parker <debian@tevp.net>, to stop Scowl generated
43 packages to erronously depend on debconf twice, and to allow for
44 debconf-2.0 as an alternate, thus blocking the cedebconf transition

58 * New upstream release.
59 Closes: #333207 wamerican-large: new upstream release 6 available
60 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
61 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
62 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
63 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
64 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
66 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
67 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
68 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
69 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
70 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
71 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
72 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.
73 If Microsoft is there (it is), we should be too ;).
74 Closes: #327749: wamerican: should include "debian" in wordlist
76 - standards version 3.6.2 (no changes required)

103 * added wenglish.preinst, to remove the obsolete "wenglish"
104 debconf choice, now that wamerican has replaced wenglish.

106 why this solution is not perfect.

121 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
122 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
123 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
124 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
125 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
126 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
127 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
128 better quality, and is supported upstream.
129 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
130 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
131 following binary packages:
132 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
133 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
134 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
136 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
137 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
138 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words
139 Closes: #165251: wbritish: Missing word ('behemoth')
140 Closes: #176875: Gullible isn't in the dictionary
141 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard
142 Closes: #175906: wenglish: should be called wamerican
143 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
144 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
145 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
146 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
147 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
148 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
149 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
150 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
151 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
152 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
153 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
