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

67 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
68 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
69 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
70 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
71 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
73 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
74 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
75 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
76 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
77 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
78 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
79 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.
80 If Microsoft is there (it is), we should be too ;).

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