Description Dennis Nezic 2009-05-26 19:15:36 UTC

The Wordnet 3.0 dataset has been out for a while, since December 2006. Debian people use a python script written by Sebastian Hagen in 2007 to do the conversion to dictd format, while our older packages use a (more efficient?) C program (wnfilter.c) written by Rickard Faith and last updated in 2003. wnfilter has a small (trivial) sorting bug[1], but otherwise works. (It also has to be run with LC_ALL=C.) My vote is to continue using wnfilter.

[1] In the sprintf statement in the fmt_openindex() function, "sort -df" should be replaced with "sort -df -t $'\t' -k 1,3"
