If that happens, I think the AUTHORS file from 0.60 should get restored, it is important to give credit for work people do. If that happens, whoever creates the new project might want to import all the upstream tarballs from archive.org and the Debian snapshots, so that the project history is preserved. https://snapshot.debian.org/package/aspell-sl/ > I've updated my proposed package: I changed the version to > 0.60+really0.50.0-1, updated the copyright file, added a watch file that > checks the gnu.org index and did a few other minor packaging changes. As I'm not a Slovenian speaker and am not doing any i18n/l10n, I'm not the best person to be sponsoring this package. Since there is no translation list for Slovenian, I suggest that you ask on the debian-i18n mailing list for a sponsor. Alternatively, hopefully Tobias Frost (CCed) will sponsor, as they did in 2016 for the last upload. If both of these options fail, then I am willing to sponsor, some comments you might want to look at before that though: * At this point in the freeze, the release team asks for folks to upload new upstream releases and other changes not targeted at bullseye to be uploaded to experimental instead of unstable. - https://release.debian.org/bullseye/freeze_policy.html * Should doc/sl_SI.aff also be converted to UTF-8? * Should doc/sl_SI.aff be installed outside /usr/share/doc? - `apt-file search .aff` suggests the same location as the other files * The web page in the Vcs-Browser field doesn't really provide a web based interface for browsing the git repo, I suggest dropping that. * Your copyright dates on debian/* should be "2016, 2021". * Creating debian/clean would let you drop override_dh_clean * There are some lintian complaints: - some of them are true and unfixable (you could override these with a comment explaining the situation) - at least one of them is incorrect (you could file lintian bugs) - at least one of them could be fixed * file is not able to identify sl.cwl, any idea what format it is and what tools are able to read it? (you could file a bug against file) PS: I did a search through the Debian locations resources and found a few places where Slovene, Slovenia or Slovenian are referred to within a Debian related context, links below. In case you want to bring the Debian Slovenian community together, these links could be a good start. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianLocations https://wiki.debian.org/JanPrunk https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Help/ProfessionalHelp#Slovenia https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-slovenian/ ircs://irc.oftc.net/debian.si (from https://wiki.debian.org/IRC) (only one person in the channel. several others in the access list, one of them (Jan Prunk ) is online today (but not in the channel), the rest were last online in 2011 but have registered email addresses) https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/sl https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/sl_SI https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po-debconf/sl https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po4a/sl https://www.debian.org/devel/website/stats/sl#gettext https://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/level1/sl.txt https://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/level2/sl.txt https://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/level3/sl.txt https://www.debian.org/mirror/sponsors (ftp.arnes.si sponsored by ARNES) https://www.debian.org/consultants/#SI https://web.archive.org/web/20100206014457/http://debian.si/ -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Bug#988466: RFS: aspell-sl/0.60-5 -- Slovenian dictionary for GNU Aspell
Dear Paul, On 15. 05. 21 03:53, Paul Wise wrote: > The Homepage is 404, but the site it was on still works.

I contacted Tomaž Erjavec and Aleš Košir (one of the authors of aspell-sl). aspell-sl is currently unmaintained. The old website and the archive of releases were lost in a hard drive crash. > I noticed an older version of this on the GNU website. It might be > worth contacting the aspell/ispell communities about this too. Tomaž and Aleš also pointed out that an old release of aspell-sl is still distributed as an official Slovenian dictionary for aspell from the gnu.org website. I checked the gnu.org release (0.50-0). It appears newer than 0.60 on which the current Debian package is currently based, despite its version number. It has a later copyright date (2004 vs. 2002) and the dictionary has approx. 17000 new words added and no words were removed. > I noticed that LibreOffice includes support for Slovenian and have > their own dictionary. It might be worth contacting the Slovenian > LibreOffice community. Earlier I missed the fact that hunspell-sl from Libreoffice is also packaged for Debian now. It is indeed another package that provides a Slovenian spell checker. For now I think it makes sense to base the aspell-sl Debian package on the 0.50-0 release from gnu.org instead of the 0.60 from the old website. I see on repology.org that other distros that don't pull aspell-sl package from Debian do that as well. In the long term, it would be nice if aspell-sl would get a new upstream maintainer. I will send out a few more mails, but I suspect finding one will not be easy. I've updated my proposed package: I changed the version to 0.60+really0.50.0-1, updated the copyright file, added a watch file that checks the gnu.org index and did a few other minor packaging changes. Full changelog entry: * Base the package on 0.50-0 tarball from gnu.org. - old upstream webpage is inaccessible since 2009. - despite lower version number the wordlist in 0.50-0 is larger and has a newer copyright date. * Minor packaging update - d/control: update to SV 4.5.1, update Vcs URLs, add Rules-Requires-Root, B/D on debhelper-compat = 12, add Homepage field. - Add d/watch. - d/copyright: use https in URLs, update to match new upstream package. - d/changelog: remove trailing whitespace. You can fetch the new package using: dget -x https://www.tablix.org/~avian/aspell-sl/aspell-sl_0.60+really0.50.0-1.dsc Best regards Tomaž
