Bug#436115: O: dictd -- Dictionary Server
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of dictd, Kirk Hilliard <kirk@debian.org>, is
apparently not active anymore on the dictd package. Therefore, I orphan
this package now.
Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you are *sure* you will have enough time and attention to
work on it.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: Dictionary Server
dictd is a TCP based server that allows a client to access dictionary
definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases.
.
Many dictionary databases have been packaged for debian. They are
discussed in more detail in the file
/usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz
.
Either dict-gcide or dict-wn is essential for a useful English
language dictionary server. It is strongly recommended that both be
installed. If you are interested in computer terminology, it is
recommended that one or more of dict-jargon, dict-foldoc, and
dict-vera also be installed.
.
The client program, dict, is packaged in dict*.deb If you are
running a server, you will want the client for all machines in your
network, and for testing server operations.

Description: Dictionary Client
dict is the client that queries the dictd server. Since it is TCP
based, it can access servers on the local host, on a local network,
or on the Internet.
.
The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can
be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet. The default
configuration is to query one of these servers first, but this may be
changed in the configuration file /etc/dict.conf.
.
Queries may be customized by numerous command line options, including
specifying the database(s) to be queried and the search strategy to
be used.
.
dict includes dictl, which simplifies using utf-8 encoded dictionaries
with terminals that do not support utf-8.

Description: Compression utility for dictionary databases
dictzip compresses files using the gzip(1) algorithm (LZ77) in a
manner which is completely compatible with the gzip file format. An
extension to the gzip file format allows for random access to chunks
of about 57kb without the overhead of decompressing the entire file.
This package also includes dictunzip to decompress dictzipped files
and dictzcat for viewing dictzipped files.
