Description Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-09-21 08:55:36 UTC
$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv babytrans

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-dicts/babytrans-en2pt-0.1   3,439 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] app-dicts/babytrans-en-0.1   469 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] app-dicts/babytrans-0.9.2-r1  +gnome  217 kB 

Why do I need portuguese?! All dictionaries should be optional and installed separately.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-09-21 09:08:30 UTC
BTW, please add ebuilds to other dictionaries found at ftp://ftp.ac-grenoble.fr/ge/languages/babylon_dict/. In particular, EngtoEng.dic ;-).

BTW2: Are you sure these are licensed "as-is"?
Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-21 16:41:17 UTC
this is a very valid point. we shouldn't have the optional babytrans dictionaries as babytran's dependency.
Comment 3 Otavio Piske (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-21 20:15:31 UTC
Dependency on optional dictionaries removed. 

BTW1: I'll try to add other dictionaries this week.
BTW2: At the end of license.txt file, in babylon software (under the section TERMS OF USE OF BABYLON.COM GLOSSARIES AND OTHER THIRD PARTY MATERIAL), it stated that Glossaries and Third Party material is provided "AS-IS".

That may be true for the current releases, but the dictionaries babytrans uses are from an old one. By the time the babytrans project appeared (I've been using it for many years), the "legal" (recommended by the author) way of installing dictionaries was to download the windows version, install it and copy the dictionaries over to your linux partition.

PS. Please unmask babytrans* on amd64. I've been using it for half a year here with no probs.

Thanks for pointing that. I added fetch restrictions to the dictionaries ebuilds and I'll contact babylon to see how we can handle this in a legal way.
About unmasking in amd64: I recommend talking to someone on the amd64 team. If that doesn't help, ping me on #gentoo-dev and I'll try to help.
