The upstream for dico is also maintaining the GCIDE database. Thus dico
has support for GCIDE that I'd like to leverage.
This bug report is a request to introduce a new dico module,
dico-module-gcide, which will then allow me to add it as a Recommends in
dict-gcide.
Please see attached patch.
That said, I still need your advise on how to enable the dictionary
during install.
dicodconfig picks dictionaries in the /usr/share/dictd/ folder, which
are in a certain file format.
The new dico implementation allows me to use the GCIDE database as is,
i.e. without conversion, provided I add the following snippet into the
config file. This is where I need coordination with you on how to
proceed.
I think dico-module-wordnet suffers the same problem. Most people have
installed dict-wn package, so they don't realize that wordnet is not
used.
So, to enable GCIDE, I need to add something like the following to
dictorg-db.list. I think this list was/is for backward compatibility
with the old dictd server.
How would you advise on adding something like the following, which is
dico specific ???
load-module gcide;
database {
name "gcidenew";
handler "gcide dbdir=/usr/share/dictd/gcide-0.51";
}

+Description: RFC 2229 compliant modular dictionary server (GCIDE module)
+ GNU Dico is an implementation of the DICT protocol as defined in RFC 2229.
+ It is fully modular: the daemon itself (dicod) provides only the server
+ functionality, and knows nothing about database formats. Actual searches
+ are performed by functions supplied in loadable modules. A single module
+ can serve one or more databases.
+ .
+ This package provides an abstract layer for reading GCIDE lexical database
+ files.
