I can include the generation script (it's GPLv2 and available from https://github.com/tkedwards/wiktionarytodict) but I don't think that's very practical. The script regenerate_all.sh will download a 1.5GB file from Wiktionary.org and extract it, creating a nearly 4GB file. It then takes 2 hours on a quad-core desktop machine with all 4 cores at 100% CPU usage to generate the dictionaries.On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 9:26 PM, Tim Edwards wrote:No, not yet. It should be a pretty straightforward set of packages to include as it's really just a packaging of dictionaries generated by my scripts available at https://github.com/tkedwards/wiktionarytodictHow are the dictionaries modified? What are the dictionaries generated from? Please note (DFSG item 2) that you have to include what they are generated from (the preferred form for modification) in the source package and generate the dictionaries during the package build process. The package you have provided is not doing that right now so it cannot be uploaded to Debian yet.
The upstream project, http://tkedwards.github.io/wiktionarytodict/ (which is also run by me) produces the dictd format dictionaries as its output, which I'm then packaging up for Debian with no modifications - none are needed. Similar to how the tzdata package takes its data from upstream and just packages it up. I don't understand how this is against the DFSG.
