While I have maintain the Hong Kong Debian mirrors (ftp.hk.debian.org) for years, I'm often worry about the increase rate of debian. Indeed, my original aim is make the stardict be usable ASAP while Anthony Fok (original maintainer of stardict) had received too much complain of the non-updating. Btw, After David and Andreas mail, I had mail once more to the author of stardict about the issue. But still got no reply yet. In these few days, I decide not to wait and try to replace the stardict format wordnet dictionary with Andreas's DICT format one. (Keep the stardict index file) It seem the stardict can handle the DICT format (at least for the few words I had test) I had also RTFS. What I know that is the if DICT format dictionary is well formatted (no duplicate definition on the same words), the stardict should handle it without any problem. Now, I suppose I will change the plan to modify the conversion tools and make it got an option that produce index file for the original DICT format dictionary only. (Indeed, I had modify some during modify the wordnet packages) I suppose I can finish before this weekend. Anthony Fok had already help me to upload the stardict_2.4.3-1 packages (without any dictionary) but I had ask him to delay the uploading of stardict wordnet dictionary until I finish the repackaging again. So, now the dictionary need 3 packages!? One for the original DICT format dictionary, one for the DICT index, one for the Stardict index. I'm thinking how to name them now. regards, Roy Chan
