Package: mecab Version: 0.996-1.1 Severity: wishlist Jim Breen (of EDICT fame) tells me that ipadic is considered to be outdated by now, and all the people into natural language processing are now using the higher-quality dictionary unidic (which is based on the NINJAL/kokugo kenkyujo corpus). Apparently even ipadic's authors don't recommend that it be used today.
Unidic is already in jessie (package unidic-mecab), so can we perhaps use it as the default alternative for mecab-dictionary? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.18.1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to ja_JP.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mecab depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libmecab2 0.996-1.1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii mecab-ipadic 2.7.0-20070801+main-1 ii mecab-jumandic 5.1+20070304-3 mecab recommends no packages. mecab suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
