* Package name : freedict-tools Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : Horst Eyermann and Michael Bunk * URL : http://www.freedict.org/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Perl, Make, Shell Description : Development files for the FreeDict dictionary packages This package contains the scripts for developing and building FreeDict dictionary packages. The proposed name of the binary package produced by this source package is "freedict-tools-dev". Currently, the dict-freedict-eng-deu binary package, as well as more than 50 other dict-freedict-foo-bar packages are shipped with Debian. These are all produced from one big source package called "freedict". This freedict source is not shipped by upstream. It's not the preferred format for modification of these dict's. It merely is a manual merge of all pre-formatted dict files, which are shipped in separate tarballs by upstream. Luckily, upstream also ships real sources for each dict. The plan is to generate the dict-freedict-eng-deu and other binary packages from such per-dict source packages. The freedict-tools-dev binary package will be a build-dependency for the planned new freedict dictionary packages. (Kęstutis Biliūnas and me are using the pkg-freedict Alioth project and SVN repository for this work.) Bye, Joost
