The +en_US dictionary is also generated from the SCOWL source. + +1) Unpack the tarball (tar.gz) version of the latest version of SCOWL +in the current directory and rename the directory from +"scowl-YYYY.MM.DD" to "scowl". You can find the latest version at +http://wordlist.aspell.net/ or +http://sourceforge.net/projects/wordlist/files/SCOWL/ + +2) Run the script "./make-new-dict" to generate a new dictionary and +make sure it runs without any errors. + +3) Do a quick sanity check on the resulting dictionary +"en_US-mozilla.dic". For example make sure the size is about the same +(it should likely be slightly large) as the original dictionary. + +4) Once everything is okay copy the new dictionary in place using +"./install-new-dict" and commit the changes. + +NOTES ON UPGRADE PROCESS: + +The dictionary upgrade scripts work by expanding (i.e. unmunching) the +affix compression dictionaries to create simple wordlists and use +those to generate a new dictionary. + +The upgrade script expects the original upstream version to be kept in +the directory "orig". + +The install script renames "orig" to "orig-bk" and copies the new +upstream version to "orig". The install script also copies the +original Mozilla dictionary to the "mozilla-bk". + +SUBMITTING MOZILLA SPECIFIC CHANGES UPSTREAM: + +The upgrade script creates two files that can be reviewed and possible +submitted upstream. The file "5-mozilla-removed" lists words that were +removed in the Mozilla dictionary and the file "5-mozilla-added" +contains the list of words that were added. When submitting new words +upstream Mozilla specific words that are found in "5-mozilla-specific" +(expanded from mozilla-specific.txt) should likely be removed from the list. + +ABOUT mozilla-specific.txt: + +This file contains Mozilla-specific words that should not be submitted +upstream. For example, "Firefox" goes here. (See bug 237921). + +Note that the file 5-mozilla-specific is generated by expanding +mozilla-specific.txt and should not be edited directly. |
