• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description SpanKY 2008-11-02 06:29:34 UTC]

no open bugs and has been in the tree for a while now ... works fine for me with OCRing some pdfs i needed

[Comment 1 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) 2008-11-02 14:59:58 UTC]

Sparc stable.

[Comment 2 Markus Meier 2008-11-05 20:44:44 UTC]

amd64/x86 stable

[Comment 3 Brent Baude (RETIRED) 2008-11-07 15:08:46 UTC]

ppc stable

[Comment 4 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2008-11-09 16:00:28 UTC]

Stable on alpha.

You might want to look into emitting a warning if LINGUAS is empty (i.e. contains only -*) since the whole program refuses to work if that's the case (and it doesn't really complain in a helpful way).

ppc64 done

[Comment 7 Richard Scott 2009-05-21 11:09:27 UTC]

Can this not become stable as it doesn't include this file:

/usr/share/tessdata/eng.unicharset

Which stops OCR scanning in SpamAssasin from working correctly :-(

Apparently the language files have moved out of the main tarball into a new one that you have to also download and install.

Other distro's have an rpm for it:

fix your lang settings.  the ebuild only installs what you configure it to.  otherwise, that is not something to post here.

Oh, I see... 

Would it not have made sense to default to English rather than no language at all!

[Comment 10 SpanKY 2009-05-21 20:18:31 UTC]

probably, but you should file a new bug to ask for that enhancement ;)
