8 - wamerican.post{inst,rm}: Run dictionaries-common stuff only
10 - wamerican.config: Check that dictionaries-common is installed
11 and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying
13 - debian/rules: Do not auto-generate maintainer scripts for
14 wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
15 installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the
16 wordlists, moving both to the install target.
17 - debian/control: Remove dictionaries-common dependency and
18 include a conflicts against dictionaries-common (<< 0.98) where
19 /usr/share/dict/words link diversion is included.
21 - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No changes needed.
22 - Moved debhelper dependency from Build-Depends-Indep to
23 Build-Depends. debhelper is required to run the clean target

51 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
52 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
53 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
54 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
55 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
57 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
58 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
59 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
60 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
61 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
62 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
63 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

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