Package: stardict Severity: normal Hi, Andrew Lee and Anthony Fok!
I use stardict, I like this dictionary very much, but there is a great discomfort: at every new installation it is necessary to download the dictionaries from the site http://stardict.sourceforge.net by hand and to install them. It would be nice if the deb-package included the dictionaries from this site, however it is most likely impossible because mostly they will not correspond to DFSG. I have a proposal to you: to modify the package thus it has configure and template scripts for debconf, which would allow users to choose and install the dictionaries automatically (dpkg-reconfigure). I've written a small script (it is attached) which creates a list of what to download and where from: according to the results of the work of this script one may generate the menu for choosing). Some time later I would be able to complete the work on this system [1]. However now I have to choose whether to make a fake package only for automatisation of downloading the dictionaries for stardict or to work further on the stardict package. Here I need your agreement or disagreement about working on the stardict package: in the first case you'll include the results of my work into package and add me to the Uploaders group and in the second one I'll make a retitle of this bug in ITP: staridct-dicts [1]. Please inform me what is your opinion on this subject. Sincerely yours, Dmitry PS: notes: [1] _example_ of staridct-dicts.deb uploaded to: http://uvw.ru/debian/unstable/stardict/
