I surely agree if it makes sense.

Ahh, OK. Perhaps it might make sense to verify how wordnet-goldendict
might look in text interface. It might make sense to give a nicely
formatted UI preference and live with the not so beautiful but prefectly
readable console output.

Thanks for the clarification.

The screenshots are enlighting, thanks. How does a dict terminal would
look like with wordnet-goldendict?

I perfectly agree. My goal is to present WordNet database in the best
possible way. So I definitely agree to enhancements. Duplicating the
source makes no sense at all.

Sure. No problem. I just wanted to make sure I have understood the
rationale and we will not find an alternate way with nearly the same
effect.

Well, the extra Ruby build dependency does hurd a bit because at home
(where I do most of my Debian work) I have a terribly slow connection
and updating pbuilder with just another Build-Depends is not really
funny. But upstream does not change that frequently.
I'm actually a bit concerned about #549768 which might result in some
more complete rebuilds. BTW, on which architecture did you builded the
package. Did you aboserved any problem.
According to the timing. I will have only 128kBit upload which
frequently breaks upload of larger packages like WordNet. So I
can not upload your patch before Monday. Please ping me if you
did not heard anything from me until Wednesday next week.
Kind regards and thanks for the patch
Andreas.
