First, sorry for closing bug earlier; it must have gotten lost in the shuffle.
I think I'm going to simplify the situation. Upstream has asked every Tesseract to include dependency on "equ" which is equations, "osd" which is orientation and script detection. I'm going to add a direct dependency on "eng" as well and give up on the concept of the tesseract-ocr-language virtual package. Benefits: 1) Simplification. Smooth package transition from 2.04 -> 3.0.x has taken quite some effort and this is one less thing to worry about and get wrong. 2) Laziness. I can make this change here, packaging will be "correct" and I don't have to update all 65 language packages. 3) Correctness. Tesseract is quite happy to ignore English training data and do French-only OCR, for example. Downsides: 1) Unnecessary download bandwidth + disk use for people with zero interest in English OCR. 2) Risk of getting accused of English language imperialism. This is not intentional. I am all for math equation imperialism if anyone cares about that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
