Description Aurimas Černius 2011-04-09 20:50:55 UTC
Spec URL: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/a/a7/Opendict.spec
SRPM URL: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/3/3f/Opendict-0.6.3-1.fc14.src.rpm
Description: OpenDict is free multiplatform dictionary program. It is made to be universal and easy to use for desktop users and developers.

Comment 1 Aurimas Černius 2011-04-09 20:57:53 UTC
Since as stand-alone program it has limited value, I think that plugins from bug 695027 should be made as requirement for this package. I haven't done that yet.

Comment 2 Aurimas Černius 2011-04-13 20:47:11 UTC
The current homepage of OpenDict is down. However, the old one is still available:
http://opendict.sourceforge.net/

OpenDict package is available for Debian:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/opendict

Just a look at the spec:

> %{_datadir}/applications/*

Most likely the following applies:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage


> %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor/*

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache


> %{_datadir}/locale/*

Thanks for comments.
I've uploaded new versions of both files, corrected accordingly.

 Please inform upstream about the wrong FSF postal address.

Usually the files section comes after the posts.

"%patch1 -p0 -b .mkdirs" -- That should say "symlink", I suppose.

Comment 6 Volker Fröhlich 2011-06-30 22:06:31 UTC
Please increment the release number for every new version you publish and write the changelog.

Comment 7 Aurimas Černius 2011-07-26 20:15:43 UTC
I contacted upstream authors and they suggested to switch to StarDict, as OpenDict has almost no development. Thus, I withdraw my request and will probably switch to packaging StarDict lithuanian dictionaries.
