Summary: Review Request: qdex - Romanian offline dictionary https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522239 Summary: Review Request: qdex - Romanian offline dictionary Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: mapleoin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://mapleoin.fedorapeople.org/pkgs/qdex/qdex.spec SRPM URL: http://mapleoin.fedorapeople.org/pkgs/qdex/qdex-9.09-3.fc11.src.rpm Description: qDex is an offline dictionary application that uses the database of the Romanian word definitions created and maintained by Dexonline.ro volunteers. Hello! I have a couple of problems with this package. 1. I've included only very few files from the package. Everything is packed inside the executable. The Readme file details the installation process so I've excluded it along with everything else (header files, html doc files which are included in the binary, qdbm and zlib programs). 2. qdex gets all its definitions from http://dexonline.ro. By default it downloads them to the current directory the first time it starts and any time the user asks for it. I had patched it so that it would put the db file (some 20MB) in /var/lib/qdex, but then only root could update the db. So I removed the patch and assumed that, since users will start qdex from the menu, the database will always stay/get updates in the current user's home and not have duplicates that way. So this is the dillema: leave it the way it is now or patch the program to remove the "manual update" button and make a separate -data package with the database, that way the database only gets updated by fedora. However, dexonline seems to be quite the active project, with more definitions added daily. I don't know if I should be mentioning this anymore, but I'm not yet in the packager group although I have found a sponsor. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
