Bug#305928: dict-freedict: Include the esperanto dictionnary "Reta Vortaro"

2005-04-22 Thread Thomas Petazzoni
Package: dict-freedict
Severity: wishlist


Hello,

It would be nice to include the esperanto dictionnary named Reta
Vortaro, and available under the GNU GPL at
http://www.uni-leipzig.de/esperanto/voko/tgz/index.html. There's already
a dict-compliant version, which works with Debian version if dictd. 

To get it work with Debian dictd, the only configuration to do is to add
"--local=fr_FR.UTF-8" (must be an UTF-8 locale) to the DICTD_ARGS
variable in the /etc/default/dictd file.

If needed, I can help in packaging this dictionnary. I never packed a
dictionnary, but I have little knowledge of Debian packaging (I'm
working on the librpc-ocaml-dev and cduce packages).

Thomas

Bug#305928: ReVo doesn't fit in freedict

2005-09-07 Thread Thomas Petazzoni
Hi,

Yesterday, with the help of Ludovic Courtès, I studied more precisely
the integration of ReVo (an Esperanto dictionary) to Debian. In fact,
we've discovered that freedict dictionaries are only translation
dictionaries, and that the TEI XML files only allow to express these
translations.

However, the ReVo is really an Esperanto dictionary, giving an Esperanto
definition for every word, as long as translation in many languages. As
such, its format doesn't seem to fit well in the TEI XML format.

So, we've decided to package it separatly, in a dict-revo package.

Consequently, if you agree, I think you can close this bug.

Sincerly,

Thomas
