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

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

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

136 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
137 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
138 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
139 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
140 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
141 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
142 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
143 better quality, and is supported upstream.
144 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
145 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
146 following binary packages:
147 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
148 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
149 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
151 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
152 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
153 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words

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