Hi Thomas, Ludovic, Ludovic: > Are you sure the sort order is problematic?
Thomas: > Quite strange, since revo works perfectly with dictd, word search > through indexes works. It is only the 00-* headers missorted. This will have to be fixed, but it is a minor thing. There is definitely a bug in dictd itself, keeping it from reading the 00-* headers (even when properly sorted). Thomas: > I don't understand why locales are necessary to allow dictd to read > UTF-8 dictionaries. AFAIK, dictd only uses the locale provided to determine sort order for doing its search of the index. It might be possible to incorporate UTF-8 character order into dictd itself. This would not be as elegant from a programing standpoint, and Aleksey might not accept it upstream, but it could be offered and might could be kept as a Debian specific patch to avoid the UFT-8 packaging problems. Thomas: > BTW, who is the upstream author of dictd ? Is there a CVS somewhere ? > Mailing-list ? Rik Faith wrote it, but Aleksey Cheusov is doing most of the current development. dict.org still has some resources, including the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, but CVS is now on SourceForge. See sourceforge.net/projects/dict. I had hoped to have addressed this by now, but was surprised with another short trip, and will be returning home this Wednesday. I will try to have it fixed this week. In the meanwhile, a question. I see: revo.en.inx revo.eo.inx revo.es.inx revo.la.inx revo.tr.inx revo.cs.inx revo.de.inx revo.fr.inx revo.ru.inx I assume that that revo.eo.inx is the Esperanto index, and that all others are translation indices. ``dict -D revo.eo abako ''(should this be simply revo?) returns the entire entry, including all translations. ``dict -D revo.en abacus'' returns the same entire entry. Is this desired, or should it omit all translations but the anglaj? Do you plan a single revo package, or one package per language, so I can easily install just the English translations? (For example, the revo-en package, which includes just the revo.en index, could depend upon the main revo package which includes the dictionary database and probably the revo.eo index.)
