| ibeardslee | so I seem to have a myspell-en-nz working .. and a little bit away from the myspell-mi-nz | 01:43 |
|---|---|---|
| ibeardslee | will aim to get them up here .. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-nz | 01:44 |
| ibeardslee | after they are tidied up etc | 01:45 |
| snail | ibeardslee: nice | 01:48 |
| snail | how much work was it? | 01:48 |
| snail | i keep meaning to do one for sm | 01:49 |
| ibeardslee | not a lot .. fixing an existing myspell-en-nz .. update-openoffice-dicts doesn't exist on recent Ubuntu or Debian | 01:50 |
| ibeardslee | and there are mi_NZ.aff mi_NZ.dic from the OOo extension that I can perk for the mi_NZ one | 01:52 |
| ajmitch | how complete are they? | 01:54 |
| ibeardslee | from 2008 | 01:56 |
| ibeardslee | could probably do with some updates etc | 01:57 |
| ibeardslee | well they seem to work | 02:34 |
| ajmitch | but are they correct? :) | 02:35 |
| ibeardslee | well māori is treated differently using english nz and māori | 02:42 |
| * ajmitch is tempted to upgrade to quantal but knows that X will probably die horribly with fglrx | 02:44 | |
| ajmitch | I guess I'll wait for new laptop with slightly less awful drivers | 02:44 |
| ibeardslee | ajmitch: so what would be the sanest process for getting these dictionaries into Ubuntu (and Debian)? | 04:34 |
| ibeardslee | neither seem to exist in Debian | 04:34 |
| ajmitch | beg someone who knows about dictionaries? :) | 04:35 |
| ajmitch | probably a better chance of getting them into ubuntu, though feature freeze is in just over a week | 04:35 |
| ibeardslee | .. hmm was thinking of dumping them into the (it hasn't been created yet) ubuntu-nz PPA | 04:36 |
| ajmitch | while I can upload, I'm unfamiliar with dictionaries, so would need to check out the others | 04:36 |
| ajmitch | just remember that any team member can upload to the PPA, and it's an open team | 04:36 |
| ibeardslee | my head is spinning with the inconsistencies around the en-* dictionaries | 04:37 |
| ajmitch | that doesn't surprise me :) | 04:37 |
| ibeardslee | trying to find something somewhere that says this is how it should be done | 04:37 |
| ibeardslee | or at least looking through various/random dictionaries to find common/sane threads of consistency | 04:38 |
| ajmitch | or it might be that everyone does it their own way | 04:38 |
| ibeardslee | if I get the two dictionaries into the PPA and then create a bug report to get them included .. would that work? | 04:39 |
| ajmitch | once the packages are ready, you'd want to subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors to the bug | 04:40 |
| ibeardslee | just http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nz/ppa or http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nz/localisation | 04:46 |
| ajmitch | preferably not under the ~ubuntu-nz team at all, just because anyone could upload | 04:48 |
| ibeardslee | bugger .. that would make a lot of sense of we could manage it that way .. can't be restricted to specific members of the team? | 04:51 |
| ajmitch | no, you'd set up a separate team for that | 04:51 |
| ibeardslee | Ubuntu NZ Dictionary team ? | 04:52 |
| ajmitch | whatever you want to call it :) | 04:53 |
| lifeless | can't be restricted within the team no, that would be hell to admin. | 04:53 |
| lifeless | if you want separate rules, use separate teams. | 04:54 |
| === lifeless_ is now known as lifeless | ||
| chilts | morning | 20:03 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 20:20 |
| Atamira | morning all | 20:30 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:35 |
| * ibeardslee wonders if he should bring chilts back down to earth ;) | 20:49 | |
| ajmitch | what's he done now? | 20:50 |
| ibeardslee | he's had people saying nice things to him | 20:51 |
| ajmitch | always a mistake | 20:51 |
| ajmitch | not a good way to start the day :) | 20:51 |
| chilts | ibeardslee: heh, please don't | 21:08 |
| chilts | it's nice being high (lawfully) | 21:08 |
| ajmitch | hah | 21:08 |
| Atamira | yeah give him his day | 21:36 |
| Atamira | we all deserve one now and then | 21:36 |
| chilts | thanks, someone else can be tomorrow :) | 21:49 |
| chilts | who wants it? | 21:49 |
| chilts | so another high for today, the new site launched by the founders of Twitter are using AwsSum (a library I wrote in Node.js) : https://twitter.com/andychilton/status/235501828878520321 | 22:53 |
| chilts | it keeps getting better :) | 22:53 |
| ajmitch | that's pretty cool | 22:55 |
