118 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
119 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
120 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
121 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
122 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
124 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
125 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

127 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
128 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
129 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
130 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

177 scowl (5-1) unstable; urgency=low
179 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
180 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
181 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
182 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
183 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
184 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
185 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
186 better quality, and is supported upstream.
187 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
188 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
189 following binary packages:
190 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
191 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
192 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
194 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
195 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
196 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words

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