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

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

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