ispell (3.1.20.0-4) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control: changed wordlist name in the ibritish description

for noticing and reporting the mistake.
Closes: #200166: ibritish: Typo in the package description.
* debian/control: depend [and build-depend] on newer
dictionaries-common[-dev] (>=0.20).
Closes: #232142 "Please update your ... package(s) to new .config system"

2003
ispell (3.1.20.0-3) unstable; urgency=low
* ispell now Depends on an ispell-dictionary rather than just
Recommending it; see this bug report for my reasoning:
#197852: ispell-dictionaries don't purge cleanly
* the iamerican and ibritish dictionary packages now Recommend
rather than Suggest wamerican and wbritish wordlists,
respectively, because most users need them (ispell's
(L)ookup command requires a word list).
* Revised the descriptions in light of the above changes.
* thanks to Agustin Martin Domingo <agmartin@debian.org> for
testing and enabling ispell-autobuildhash (part of
dictionaries-common):
-- Added debian/ispell.postinst to test ispell-autobuildhash
existence and run it if present.
Closes: #41741: consider update-ispell-hash
* thanks also to Agustin Martin Domingo for chasing down a
debhelper bug (or misdocumented feature) and filing a separate
bug report about that, and for testing the workaround:
-- dh_clean --package=package will clean all *.debhelper snippets
even if they do not belong to the selected package. Hacking
around this (Commenting all dh_clean --package= lines)
Closes: #199859: debhelper snippets get uninstalled during build
* as a temporary solution to the -x problem, I've corrected the
man page -- I will revisit this bug report in relation to
ispell 3.2, so I'm leaving it open:
#189188: Effect of -x flag differs from what is documented
* changes in scowl 5-2 (and hence the word lists merged into the
ispell american and british dictionaries) have added many common
variant spellings, including "judgement".
Closes: #146341: add "judgement"; knows only about "judgment"
* chopsticks (and variants) are in the ispell iamerican and ibritish
dictionaries since version 3.1.20.0-2, and in the wbritish,
wamerican, and wcanadian word lists since version 5-1. If you
still have this problem with those (or later) versions, please
re-open the bug report and provide version details. Thanks.
Closes: #199706: iamerican/ibritish: (no "chopsticks")
-- David Coe <davidc@debian.org> Thu, 03 Jul 2003 23:58:18 -0400
ispell (3.1.20.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Standards version update to 3.5.10:
- compile with -g regardless of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS 'debug'
- add support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS 'noopt'
* We no longer build the wbritish package here; that's
now done (much better) by the scowl source package.
* The dictionaries depend on dictionaries-common, no longer need to
pre-depend.
* Removed most of our patches from config.X and put them in local.h
where they belong.
* Correct a syntax error in parse.y and adjust Build-Depends; thanks
to Daniel Schepler <schepler@math.berkeley.edu>
Closes: #168412: ispell: Build-Depends still not right
* The ibritish and iamerican dictionaries now include the words from
the SCOWL-derived wbritish and wamerican packages.
Closes: #69068: ibritish: Isn't 'energise' a word?
Closes: #134128: iamerican: doesn't know how to spell "nefarious"
Closes: #151234: ibritish is missing towards, forwards, etc
Closes: #165142: iamerican: please add "animus", "conflate", "opine", "politicize"
Note: "conflate" is only int the "large" ispell dictionaries and in the "large"
wamerican/wbritish word lists -- I presume it's there for good reason (infrequently
used?). If you feel strongly it belongs in the regular dictionaries, please
reopen this bug report and I'll consult with upstream and consider moving it.
I also have meant for a while to package the large ispell dictionaries
(I have already packaged the large English wordlists) -- I will get
to that one of these years.
* Provide a better example for use of the -d parameter
Closes: #192400: ispell: Manpage not up to date
* Accept NMUs from the dictionaries-common transition; thanks again, Agustin.
Closes: #102607: hash files should be 128 character pers string
Closes: #123641: ispell: ispell does not use debconf
Closes: #164239: Please update your iamerican package to IDWP new policy
Closes: #164248: Please update your ibritish package to IDWP new policy
* Removed all the control file and rules file weridness created to get us
through the dictionaries-common transition; life is so much simpler now.
* Debhelper compat 4 allowed me to simplify some more weird stuff
in rules, particularly regarding the man pages (thanks, Joey).

ispell (3.1.20.0-1.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-Maintainer Upload
* This is really (3.1.20.0-1.5), but with the change below done
where it should have been done, in debian/control.top.
- Changed bison build dependency to 'byacc | bison (<= 1:1.35-3)'.
Otherwise sbuild fails loading bison 1.75 in any case and breaking
buid later because of unsatisfied dependencies.
-- Agustin Martin Domingo <agmartin@debian.org> Wed, 23 Oct 2002 10:50:33 +0200
ispell (3.1.20.0-1.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-Maintainer Upload
* Changed bison build dependency to 'bison (<= 1:1.35-3) | byacc' and
changed yacc call in local.h from 'byacc -y' to 'yacc'. This
should fix the problems derived from the new bison that is making
ispell compilation break.

ispell (3.1.20.0-1.3) unstable; urgency=low

changes in 3.1.20.0-1 merged from the official branch

Changed 'NEWERSCRIPT' name to /usr/sbin/select-default-ispell

ispell (3.1.20.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Release manager: urgency medium because this removes non-free
source files from main -- should go into woody if possible.
* Removed three non-free files ("for non-profit use") from the
upstream source. This has no effect on the binary packages.
Ispell dictionary maintainers note: the following files are
gone (from source languages/):
`dansk/dansk.7bit'
`nederlands/nederlands.7bit'
`portugues/portugues.aff'
Contact me if you'd like an ispell-nonfree-src package
(and note that you'll have to make the dictionaries you
create using those files non-free).
Closes: #148601: DFSG-violation in ispell/languages/nederlands
* accepted the patch from previous NMU; thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen
and Tollef Fog Heen.
Closes: #143161: Fail to install dictionaries using DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

ispell (3.1.20-30.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Added experimental Locale fields to iamerican (en_us) and
ibritish (en_gb) to test for experimental autogeneration of
pspell region_to_spelling.map file.
(3.1.20-30.2) Tue, 11 Jun 2002 17:25:07
* Added a Pspell-Ispell field to iamerican.info-ispell file with contents
'en-american iso8859-1'.
Added a Pspell-Ispell field to ibritish.info-ispell file with contents
'en-british iso8859-1'.
Since we use installdeb-ispell this will autogenerate
the appropiate pspell-ispell pwli files.

ispell (3.1.20-30) unstable; urgency=low
* Bumped debian revision to 30 to leave room for more official releases.
This is really 3.1.20-21 with debian/rules fix below.
* debian/rules: fixed to revert patches in the opposite order
they were applied. Otherwise html and debian description patches
conflict when reverting.
* Copied debian/README and debian/z50_missing_prototypes.dpatch from
official branch 3.1.20-21 (Was in official branch: added some missing
prototypes, thanks to a patch from Doug Porter. Closes: #130405:
implicit declarations)
* Added debian/maxstringchars_128.dpatch to build ispell with
MAXSTRINGCHARS=128. This forces us to rebuild all dictionaries.

ispell (3.1.20-20.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Experimental release after the dictionaries policy proposal.
* David, THIS BREAK OLD STYLE DICTIONARIES BUILDING, since the name for
the new style dictionaries is also iamerican, ibritish, wbritish.
In particular, PATCHES ARE NOT REVERTED. So, do not use this file
for nothing but testing.
* Removed postinst and prerm from dictionaries and wordlistpackages.
They will be autogenerated by installdeb-ispell or installdeb-wordlist

hopefully (apparently) the last.

ispell (3.1.20-18) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected the upstream english dictionary to properly pluralize
eighth, metalsmith, myth, tenth, and youth; this was a long-unnoticed
bug, causing (e.g.) "eighthes" to be accepted instead of "eighths."
Thanks to Paul Martin <pm@debian.org> for noticing the problem.
Closes: #114763: Odd words in list
-- David Coe <davidc@debian.org> Sun, 25 Nov 2001 22:25:36 -0500
ispell (3.1.20-17) unstable; urgency=low
* undefined the 'HTSPECIAL' option of the html-mode patch, which causes
ispell to make changes unrelated to spelling -- I agree that feature
is a bug. (If you need that behavior, compile ispell with 'HTSPECIAL'
#defined, or (perhaps better) preprocess your html files with
something else to do the conversions for you.)
Closes: #113503: Converts all high-bit characters to entities on save
in HTML mode
* added 'artefact' to british; left 'artifact' valid for both american
and british, per another developer's interpretation of the OED.
Closes: #117552: Missing british spelling of "artefact"
* added ispell-dctrl patch provided by Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>,
which adds an option (-g) which checks only the Description: sections
of Debian control files.
Closes: #119782: (wishlist) Debian control file mode
* removed posessive (...'s) words from the wbritish word list (a minor
fix to strix.py).
* added all I could find in the way of previous debian ispell
changelogs, to the bottom of this changlog.
Closes: #77234: Missing changelog entries
* Not a bug -- these words are already handled properly by ispell,
but are not included in the "medium" sized dictionaries which Debian
distributes -- you'd have to create a "large" ispell dictionary if you
want them, as described in /usr/share/doc/ispell/README.gz .

* fixed a thinko in old-style dictionary .prerm scripts.
Closes: #102440 "doesn't remove symlink /usr/doc/iamerican on purge."
* applied a small patch from Marcus Brinkmann so it will build
correctly for the hurd.
Closes: #101515 "[hurd] doesn't build."
* added documentation for each of the patches (see README.Debian).
* a newer, improved, html-mode patch now supports ISO characters
and more HTML entities.
* the patches added in this release and in 3.1.20-13 seem to have resolved
these bugs -- please reopen or resubmit if I've missed something:
Closes: #14929: "ispell "\macro\ itself" sometimes goes wrong."
Closes: #32726: "ispell -t doesn't handle macros like \, or \\ correctly."
Closes: #37997: "ispell stops."
* changed update-ispell-dictionary to use "/bin/echo -e" instead of
the shell's builtin "echo -e", hoping to become posix-shell compliant.
Closes: #98479: "the update-ispell-dictionnary sh script includes bash-
specific constructs."
* postinst will now remove any stray /usr/doc/ispell/.dhelp left
by old versions of ispell, dhelp, doc-base, or whatever.
Closes: #107234: "Documentation in /usr/doc."
* Added brief text to the ispell man page about using -h (html mode) for
XML and SGML too.
Closes: #94120: "The manpage should say something about xml and sgml."
* unable to reproduce (was probably an early woody X problem)
Closes: #81424: ispell: Does not handle backspace under X
* updated standards to policy version 3.5.6 (added support
for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS).
* changed ispell priority from optional to standard, to agree with
the Debian override file.
* corrected the description and info index location of the ispell
info file (thanks to a new lintian warning).
* added a new binary package "wbritish" (british word list), built from
the british ispell dictionary using strix.py, a user-contributed
(GPL'd) tool by Drew Parsons <dfparsons@ucdavis.edu>; strix.py
has been added to the ispell source "addons" directory.

ispell (3.1.20-2) unstable; urgency=low
* applied the unofficial ispell patch from Gerry Tierney that adds an
HTML mode (-h), which works for XML and SGML too; thanks to
debian-users Peter Karlsson and Brian Moore for bringing that patch
to my attention.
* made some changes in support of dictionaries-common and new-style
Debian dictionary packages (note that dictionaries-common and
new-style dictionaries are still being developed and tested):
- ispell now supports and properly manages either old-style
(i<language>) or new-style (idict-<language>) Debian
dictionary packages.
- the ``update-ispell-dictionaries'' command properly invokes
the new ``select-ispell-default'' command (part of the
dictionaries-common package) iff dictionaries-common has
been installed.
- the ispell source package will only create new-style Debian
dictionaries (idict-american-english and idict-british-english)
if you export ``NewStyleDictionaries'' in the build environment.
These dictionaries contain the same words as the corresponding
old-style dictionaries.
- regardless of the above, the old-style dictionaries (iamerican
and ibritish) are still created and are unchanged from previous
releases (except for the location of their documentation files).
* removed some unnecessary files from debian ``changes'' (thanks to
a suggestion from my sponsor, Tony Mancill).
* added ispellconfig as a symlink to update-ispell-dictionary, for
convenience and consistency (thanks again, Tony).
* abandoned yada in favor of debhelper, and so:
- moved all docs from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc
- added FHS compatibility doc symlinks.
- added md5sums.
- automatically handle emacsen, debconf, doc-base, and
(soon-to-be) dictionaries-common stuff.
* changed update-ispell-dictionary to just advise the user and stop,
when it is run by non-root, so now we install it with standard
executable permissions.
* updated TODO.Debian; it's significantly shorter now.

* s;/usr/dict/words;/usr/share/dict/words; in many files to fix bug #31474.

Reason: this is why ispell allows each user to use a personal
~/.ispell_defaut file.
* lintian cleaned:
- ispell: get rid of lengthy symlinks.

of a symlink.

maintainer (Kenneth MacDonald <K.MacDonald@ed.ac.uk>).
