Sounds good, however would you suggest any GPL or any non-restrictive dictionaries that can include into the package? Maybe there is no point of including it without any dict. There's a fairly good selection of dictionaries available in the stardict directory on SF (http://dl.sf.net/stardict/). The exact licensing terms aren't clearly stated, but I would assume that the ones derived from dictionary projects (www.dict.org, www.freedict.de) are covered by these projects' licensing terms. Anyway, the most interesting one is gcide (the GNU version of The Collaborative International Dictionary, based on a version of Webster's Unabridged from 1913) which is GPL. In any case, updating the package will pave the way for including some of these dictionaries in Fedora Extras/fedora.us, as I don't see Fedora Core burdened with a 34 MB package for gcide. Okay, seems the current version of stardict is not compatible with GNOME 2.6 because it used some decrepated widget like GtkCombo and GtkOptionMenu. Do you know if the developer have any plan for a migration? No idea, but an encouraging e-mail from an @redhat.com address wouldn't hurt ;) Created attachment 101395 [details]
Workaround for deprecated gtk/gdk functions
Posted a comment on the bug upstream for a while: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=560632&aid=923835&group_id=80679 A user has just updated a gtk-2.4 patch: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1057386&group_id=80679&atid=560634 May need some testing. Anyhow, the software has not updated for a while as well. November 24th brought around a new version, so at least there's some activity. 2.4.4 is in rawhide now. What about update stardict to current 2.4.6 ? :) |
