Bug#318024: dict-freedict-afr-deu: "Africaan"?

2005-07-18 Thread Michael Bunk
This is a life sign from upstream :)

Fixed the spelling in CVS, for afr-eng as well. Also shortened the description 
in the gencontrol.py used in the package build process. I'm working on a 
rerelease, but will need a sponsor or better a new maintainer. Till then any 
packaging changes will remain on my harddisk.

Bug#318025: dict-freedict-sco-deu: "Scottish"?

2005-07-19 Thread Michael Bunk
Hi,

I'm freedict upstream. Thanks for your report. Even though your introductory 
question looks like a rhetoric question, since I don't know the languages 
Gaelic or Scottish, I have to ask you to please answer your question :)

Since it has only 300 headwords, I will put a note into the dictionary file.
The .deb descriptions are generated automatically. That proces would have to 
be adapted to include the important notes from the dictionary file.

Kindest regards,
 Michael Bunk

Bug#320474: dict-freedict-eng-deu: Majority of words not found by dict

2005-07-30 Thread Michael Bunk
This is caused by an incorrectly sorted index file.
Try something like this:

LC_ALL=C sort -t $'\t' -k1,1 -bdf broken.index >working.index

freedict.org and the howto are there now.

To be able to make packages that build from source - that would be the 
TEI files or even their sources - it will be required to package the 
"FreeDict tools", eg. as "freedict-dev", which will have to be listed 
as "Build-Depends".

The c5 formatting way is working, but the entry formatting still needs 
some improvement. After releasing the dictd c5 formatted databases, I 
can join the efforts to update the Debian packages.

Kindest regards,
 Michael

Bug#222853: #222853

2004-04-12 Thread Michael Bunk
Hope this is a viable way to answer. I'm kind of the
becoming FreeDict maintainer. The Debian package maintainer
position seems still vacant to me :)

* 00-database-utf8

This should be added, as long as the source language requires it.

* sources

They should be there. We will put the CVS files into source.bz at
sourceforge. Whether there will be debian source packages,
depends on a debian package maitainer coming forward.

* "iconv -f utf8 -t iso-8859-1" says "illegal input sequence"

iconv gives this error, because the phonetics characters are not
allowed in the _iso-8859-1_. I have successfully opened my
CVS version of eng-ger.tei with yudit, seeing those characters
iconv complained about. Also XML validation was successful.
