Yes, I would like to see a release, as soon as possible. This way, it would
be easier for me to be sure I have the same version than you.

I guess I need to dig into the source tree to understand it. I'll try to
ask it on the right upstream ML.

The problem is that you need to see it builded even before dpkg-buildpackage
is launched, which seems pretty impossible...

We would need a versionned depend only on the upstream version, not the
package part of the version (ie "1.0.0" and not "1.0.0-4"). I have no idea
if it's possible. We need to give a try if such a dependency is accepted as
is.

ups, sure. Did you make sure that they are really arch-independent by
testing them on ppc ? I guess that's another argument for a rapid release,
so that people can test it...

Please put this list somewhere in the README.Debian or such. It looks like
parts of the dictionnaries, which is an issue i would like to care about
once the interface is properly packaged...

Thanks, too. You do most of the work out there !
Sorry for not using IRC these days, but I've the feeling that we speak more
on it than on mails, and that less is done ;)
Bye, Mt.
