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

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

147 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
148 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
149 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
150 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
151 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
152 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
153 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
154 better quality, and is supported upstream.
155 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
156 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
157 following binary packages:
158 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
159 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
160 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
162 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
163 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
164 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words
165 Closes: #165251: wbritish: Missing word ('behemoth')

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