Hi Julian, it makes sense to put the executables which are required for training into an extra package - not for 4.x because that would break existing installations, but for 5.x. The training shell scripts are less relevant and might be replaced in the future by the already existing Python scripts. In addition, more and more people run Tesseract training without that scripts. Instead of those scripts, they use the Makefile provided by https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesstrain/. Regards, Stefan
