Re: Bug#514690: ITP: artha -- A handy off-line thesaurus based on WordNet
Hi Andreas, Thanks for offering help. I guess I will package it today/tomorrow and will upload the packages to mentors.debian.net needing a "sponsor". I will keep you posted regarding the improvements.

Please keep me informed if there is any need for help to package artha - as the WordNet maintainer I'm somehow interested. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
Re: Bug#514690: ITP: artha -- A handy off-line thesaurus based on WordNet
Hi Andreas, Actually, I am new to packaging in Debian. I read the New Maintainer's guide and created 2 .deb packages (i386 & amd64). I have put themhere @ SF.net for local download by general users, not in a proper apt repository. All the control files, rules, etc. are in my system, locally. They are not in any version controlled area. As per the Debian docs, I have filed a ITP bug. I encountered this site mentors.debian.net, where its says new packages needing sponsors are to be uploaded. Now, should I upload my packages there and get them sponsored first? Or should I first check in the control files in the location you pointed me to. If so, how will I get the credintials to login. Thanks for your time.

Sponsoring your package is perfectly OK. You might consider putting the package under team maintenance. WordNet is Maintainer: Debian Science Team DM-Upload-Allowed: yes Uploaders: Andreas Tille Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-science/packages/wordnet/trunk/?rev=0&sc=0 Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-science/packages/wordnet/trunk/ If you have questions about this feel free to ask.

Re: Bug#514690: ITP: artha -- A handy off-line thesaurus based on WordNet
Hi Andreas, Well, its fine by me in checking-in the control files to the repository. The reason why I was bragging about the procedures is that, I am new to it and thought that they are very hard and fast :) Right now I would prefer option two, since now I am into developing and maintaining a deb package is pretty new to me. So this time, I will upload the packages in mentors and will send you the link so that you can inject them. Once I am done, I will ask for the credintials from alioth.debian.org and will learn doing it myself. > I'd regard it as a WordNet interface which has > a different format than dict. As for Josselin's mail, I agree to your reply that its doesn't come under dictionary category, since its a thesaurus interface for WordNet and also it works completely offline/local. It has unique features which gdict and startdict lack, like hot key summoning, notifications, etc.. > Just correct me if I'm wrong - I just read the description. I kindly suggest you to try it (http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=250410&sel_platform=13326) and see for yourself :) Thanks!

So I would recommend to do so - but finally it is your choice. You have to ask on alioth.debian.org for a guest account and once you got this you can ask for adding you to the debian-science group which automatically grants you write permission to the Debian Science SVN. If this is a to complicated procedure for you for the moment just point me to the *.dsc file on mentors once you uploaded it and I might inject it into Debian Science SVN (if you agree in principle). Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

Artha - Handy off-line English thesaurus with regex search feature released!
Dear friends, I am glad to announce release 0.9.1 of Artha ~ A handy off-line English thesaurus/dictionary based on WordNet with regular expressions based search feature added to it with this release. Artha houses distinct features like global hot key look-ups, regular expressions based search to locate a vaguely known word, passive desktop notifications, suggestions for misspelled words, etc. Once executed, it sits on the system tray monitoring for a pre-set hot key combination. When the user selects text from any window and presses this hot key, Artha pops-up with the word looked up. Should the user prefer passive notifications over the app. popping-up, Artha's 'Notify' option does this. Apart from showing definitions, it also shows Synonyms, Antonyms, Derivatives, Similar Terms, Attributes, Domain Terms, Pertainyms and 5 more. When a word is misspelled, it shows spelling suggestions too. Download (src and binaries): http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=250410 Code (release 0.9.1): svn co http://artha.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/artha/tags/0.9.1 Thanks! P.S.: This is my first open-source application. Thanks for all the support you guys gave me! Best Regards Sundaram
