Package: presage
Version: 0.8.8-1ubuntu3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer,
Currently presage splits on apostrophes and is unable to represent words
containing apostrophes in the database (due to them not being escaped). This
results in presage being unable to correctly predict words like "don't".
Viewing the database for the English predictions shows that this is being
represented a 2-gram of: "don" and "t".
The expected result is that this would be represented as a 1-gram of: "don't".
I realise you're also upstream developer, so have seen my upstream bug report
for this already. Basically we're planning on including this patch temporarily
in the Ubuntu presage package and were wondering if you'd be interested in
including it in the Debian package until an upstream solution is ready. If so
we can then just sync our Ubuntu package with your Debian package, otherwise if
you'd rather wait until you've got a more comprehensive upstream solution we'll
just apply the patch temporarily in Ubuntu and then sync once it's fixed
upstream.
Thanks!
P.S.
I'm still getting to grips with Debian packaging procedures, so apologies if
I've misstepped anywhere!
