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

77 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
78 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new

80 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
82 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
83 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
84 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
85 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
86 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
87 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
88 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

137 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
138 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
139 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
140 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
141 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
142 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
143 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
144 better quality, and is supported upstream.
145 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
146 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
147 following binary packages:
148 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
149 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
150 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
152 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
153 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list

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