+
+The Debian English word lists (wamerican*, wbritish*, wcanadian*) and
+the Debian "scowl" package are all built from the upstream SCOWL
+word lists. See this package's copyright file for more details
+about SCOWL.
+
+The Debian scowl package installs the raw SCOWL "final/" word lists
+into /usr/share/dict/scowl/.
+See /usr/share/doc/scowl/README for documentation about those
+individual word list files.
+
+For the Debian English word lists, we use an appropriate collection
+of SCOWL word lists for each specific language/spelling and complexity.
+The file /usr/share/doc/<package>/<package>.scowl-word-lists-used
+lists the specific scowl files that were used to create the <package>
+word list. (e.g.
+/usr/share/doc/wbritish-large/wbritish-large.scowl-word-lists-used)

+scowl (6-2.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Non-maintainer upload.
+ * Make wamerican no longer depend on dictionaries-common, while
+ using its features if present: (Closes: #487977).
+ - wamerican.links: Install /usr/share/dict/words link to
+ american-english.
+ - wamerican.post{inst,rm}: Run dictionaries-common stuff only
+ if available.
+ - wamerican.config: Check that dictionaries-common is installed
+ and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying
+ to use it.
+ - debian/rules: Do not auto-generate maintainer scripts for
+ wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
+ installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the
+ wordlists, moving both to the install target.
+ - debian/control: Remove dictionaries-common dependency and
+ include a conflicts against dictionaries-common (<< 0.98) where
+ /usr/share/dict/words link diversion is included.
+ * debian/control:
+ - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No changes needed.
+ - Moved debhelper dependency from Build-Depends-Indep to
+ Build-Depends. debhelper is required to run the clean target
+ of debian/rules (Policy Manual, section 7.6).

+ * Apply patch from Tom Parker <debian@tevp.net>, to stop Scowl generated
+ packages to erronously depend on debconf twice, and to allow for
+ debconf-2.0 as an alternate, thus blocking the cedebconf transition
+ (Closes: #393455).

+
+ * New upstream release.
+ Closes: #333207 wamerican-large: new upstream release 6 available
+ * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
+ american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
+ now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
+ size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
+ to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
+ lists.
+ Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
+ "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
+ upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
+ won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
+ words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
+ * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
+ gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.
+ If Microsoft is there (it is), we should be too ;).
+ Closes: #327749: wamerican: should include "debian" in wordlist
+ * debian/control:
+ - standards version 3.6.2 (no changes required)
+ - removed the 'wenglish' dummy package
+ Closes: #322072 wenglish: Dummy package still needed?
+ Closes: #286583 wenglish: typo in package description
+ * debian/copyright: updated copyright (some additions from
+ latest upstream README).

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

+ * Rewrite maintainer scripts, and properly this time (and thus fixes

+ tested. The new scripts used here are intended to go in all the
+ w<language> dictionary packages before the release of hamm so that
+ they all ask questions consistently, and only when they need to.
+ (If all the dictionary packages use these, bug 19600 will be fixed.)
+ Major changes are:
+ * Don't randomize the /etc/dictionary symlink on mass-upgrade.
+ * No longer use relative symlinks between top-level directories.
+ * Don't remove /etc/dictionary symlink, which records the system's
+ default dictionary language, unless the corresponding dictionary is

+The "UK English Wordlist With Frequency Classification" is also in the
+Public Domain:
+
+ Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 20:27:21 +0100
+ From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk>
+
+ > I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English
+ > Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to
+ > be lacking any copyright notice.
+
+ There were many many sources in total, but any text marked
+ "copyright" was avoided. Locally-written documentation was one
+ source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called
+ PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public
+ domain.
+
+ Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100
+
+ > So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain?
+
+ That is the intention.
+
+The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list.
+
+The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at
+least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package. All
+words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via
+my inflection database.
+
+The 12Dicts package and Supplement is in the Public Domain.

+
+The 40 level includes words from Alan's 3esl list found in version 4.0
+of his 12dicts package. Like his other stuff the 3esl list is also in the
+public domain.
+
+The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words words appearing
+in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts
+package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12
+dictionaries. A decent number of proper names is also included: The
+top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a
+list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added
+myself. Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in
+other word lists is included.
+
+The name files form the Census report is a government document which I
+don't think can be copyrighted.
+
+The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the
+"Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon
+File". All of which is in the Public Domain. This file also contain
+a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the
+special/ directory.
+
+The 55 level includes words from Alan's 2of4brif list found in version
+4.0 of his 12dicts package. Like his other stuff the 2of4brif is also
+in the public domain.
+
+The 60 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and all words
+appearing in at least 2 of the 12 dictionaries as indicated by the
+12Dicts package. A large number of names are also included: The 4,946
+female names and the 3,897 male names from the MWords package.
+
+The 70 level includes the 74,550 common dictionary words and the
+21,986 names list from the MWords package The common dictionary words,
+like those from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections
+added. The 70 level also included the 5desk list from version 4.0 of
+the 12Dics package which is the public domain
+
+The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the
+ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics
+Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words in from YAWL package,
+and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package.
+
+The ENABLE package, mainted by M\Cooper <thegrendel@theriver.com>,
+is in the Public Domain:
+
+ The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released
+ into the Public Domain. Anyone is free to use it or distribute it in
+ any manner they see fit. No fee or registration is required for its
+ use nor are "contributions" solicited (if you feel you absolutely
+ must contribute something for your own peace of mind, the authors of
+ the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your
+ favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble
+ community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers
+ may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please
+ mention the source and credit us as originators of the list. Note
+ that if you, as a game designer, use the WORD.LST in your product,
+ you may still copyright and protect your product, but you may *not*
+ legally copyright or in any way restrict redistribution of the

+ rights to restrict your users' rights, but that is only fair.

+.TH WORDLIST 5 "16 June 2003" "Debian" "Users' Manual"
+.SH NAME
+WORDLIST \- a list of English words
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B /usr/share/dict/WORDLIST
+is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per
+line.
+.SH FILES
+There may be any number of word lists in /usr/share/dict/.
+.I /etc/dictionaries-common/words
+is a symbolic link to the currently-chosen
+.I /usr/share/dict/<language>
+file.
+.I /usr/share/dict/words
+is a symbolic link to
+.IR /etc/dictionaries-common/words ,
+and is the name by which other software should refer to the
+system word list.
+See
+.BR select-default-wordlist (8)
+for more information, and/or to change the currently-chosen word list.
+.PP
+The directory
+.I /usr/share/dict
+can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language
+in English, e.g.,
+.I /usr/share/dict/french
+and
+.I /usr/share/dict/danish
+contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist.
+Such lists should be coded using the ISO 8859-1 character set encoding.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.BR ispell (1),
+.BR select-default-wordlist (8),
+and the
+.I Filesystem Hierarchy
+.IR Standard .
+.SH HISTORY
+The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number
+of sources.
+.PP
+The system word list used to be
+.IR /usr/dict/words .
+For compatibility, software should check that location if
+.I /usr/share/dict/words
+does not exist.
+.SH AUTHOR
+Word lists are collected and maintained by various authors.
+The Debian English word lists are built from the SCOWL (Spell-
+Checker Oriented Word Lists) package, whose upstream editor is
+Kevin Atkinson <kevina@users.sourceforge.net>.
