@envolution The thing is, -C only cleans up $srcdir, but it downloads sources to $startdir for me, where I had the old LICENSE.md lying around. And no, I don't have $SRCDEST set, so according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg#Package_output, it should be downloading sources directly into $srcdir. Puzzling.

@dkasak you might find extra/pacman-contrib helpful. Just run updpkgsums wherever your PKGBUILD file is before makepkg. makepkg -Csi should do a clean build and install

@envolution Oops, thank you for catching the LICENSE.md change. I wish makepkg had a flag that really, really does a clean build without having to remember to manually delete everything. (Or does it, and I'm just missing something?)

I switched to the new data locations while supporting the old location via a symlink, as suggested.

Also, thank you for pointing out wordnet-progs—I had missed it.

@dkasak try with aur/wordnet-progs - you may want to put the dict files in /usr/share/wordnet instead of /usr/share/wordnet/dict as aur/artha seems to prefer the former. use the following symlink to be backwards compatible

ln -s /usr/share/wordnet "${pkgdir}/usr/share/wordnet/dict" #support some old scripts

the license file changed 3 months ago causing a shasum difference in your shasum array. You may want to 'SKIP' this shasum or include it with the package

I updated the package to the 2024 edition.

@jmd, unfortunately the wordnet docs are not available in the upstream source zip. Where can I find those?

Note for anyone else editing the PKGBUILD: there was a minor change in the directory structure in the 2021 edition, so in addition to changing the version, I had to change line 19 to install files from the dict directory:

  install -m644 "${srcdir}"/dict/* "${pkgdir}/usr/share/wordnet/dict"

I think that having the wordnet documentation would be useful, I know I use the manpages a a fair bit so having those would be nice.

Updated to 2020.

Note that this package currently includes only the WNDB files (the only thing available in the English WordNet WNDB distribution) and does not include WordNet documentation (such as the man pages). This may be a bit confusing since e.g. the WN(1WN) man page refers to those missing pages. On the other hand, using the Princeton WordNet documentation could mean that some of the documentation information is incorrect.

Would users of this package find it more useful if this package had the same content as the wordnet-common package (including the documentation), but with the WNDB files replaced with those from English WordNet?

Updated the hash so it works for the 2019 edition again. I'll try updating to 2020 when I get some time.
