I'm also a new maintainer, and dictd is my first package, so it's doubtful that I could give you much help, but I'll be glad to try if you have problems. You should subscribe to debian-mentors, if you haven't already. A number of very experienced developers read that list and are very quick to respond with helpful answers. > Would you think that /usr/lib/dict is an appropriate directory for > the Wordnet database (the filenames didn't conflict!). The old WordNet packages used usr/lib/wordnet/dict/. I believe either /usr/lib/dict/ or /usr/lib/dict/wordnet/ (since wordnet installs about 25 files, it could justify its own subdirectory) would be appropriate. As far as I can see, all three of these choices would conform to the FSSTND. When we move to the FHS, I believe they would go into /usr/share. Regards, Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.
