Personally, i'm in favour of dropping it, due to what is said in its
homepage:
StarDict hasn't seen any active development for many years
Well it's worth to consider importing goldentict too, but I'm against
dropping stardict - it's actually alive and people keep porting it to
GTK3. https://code.google.com/p/stardict-3/updates/list
Hi
What about asking his (her) opinion to the maintainer *before*
upgrading it to the "new" version ?
********
+ kamil<kamil>
- new versdion 3.0.3
- disable all patches, they seem merged
- update URL
- update SOURCE
**********
As the maintainer, it was to me to take the decision to upgrade or
propose something else for mageia.
Hi Claire!
I keep updating URLs and SOURCEs - the initial bug-request was there
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3035 (I have reviewed initially
2,500 source-packages).
You have the right to ask me what I want to do with it and to expose
your opinion. But next time, ask the maintainer before ! There was no
bugreport open for stardict, so no emergency to touch this package.
And in case you are no aware of the fact we have a database for
maintainership :
mgarepo maintdb get<package_name>
do the trick.
I was informed that this mostly means that you are responsible for
decisions what to do in future with a package, and you are ready to be
assigned in a bug-request etc.
So what do you think about the future of StarDICT? I was looking at the
projects and I'm a little bit affraid of the licenses and patents. For
example GoldenDict is said to support Babylon - and this can be
problematic with patents.
Have you reviewed the dicts if they are legally used?
Claire
