Unfortunately, I really just don't have time to maintain/fix this package. To future packagers: you'll probably want to pull sources from debian directly and ignore upstream.

@ap_qld it builds just fine but it looks like artha may be relying on some debian special sauce (they have a ton of patches in https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/wordnet/-/tree/master/debian?ref_type=heads). The wordnet-common package only includes a static library and a header file, no pkgconf files or shared libraries which artha appears to be looking for.

Honestly, this package is an unmaintained mess. I'll have to switch to Debian as upstream.

There seems to be a problem with wordnet-common as the 'Required by' packages artha and dico do not build - more info in artha package.

The split is to avoid the tk dependency in the CLI package. That and others may just want the data.

I think I'll leave it as it is for now as it should just work.

You're right about the conflicts, but I don't think I can reasonably add "provides" to wordnet-common as it doesn't provide what the old wordnet package provided. I've left off provides entirely for now.

@Stebalien

The Debian "orig" is a mixture of several upstreams (most of which are probably internal to Debian), plus apparently some modification.

The following patches do nevertheless apply:

  • 20_doc_man_wninput.patch
  • 20_include_wn.h.patch
  • 20_src_stubs_c.patch
  • 20_src_wnb.patch
  • 40_doc_man_fix_names.patch
  • 41_doc_man_fix_names.patch
  • 50_CVE-2008-2149_buffer_overflows.patch
  • 51_overflows_memcpy.patch
  • 51_overflows.patch
  • 52_wordnet3.0_lib_search_c_memory_patch
  • 60_gcc-4.6.patch

I assume the Guix patches are equivalent to:

  • 50_CVE-2008-2149_buffer_overflows.patch
  • 51_overflows_memcpy.patch
  • 51_overflows.patch

I suggest applying further:

  • bugs:
    • 52_wordnet3.0_lib_search_c_memory_patch
    • 60_gcc-4.6.patch
      • possibly followed by "sed -Ei 's/\<puts(([^ ,)]*))/fputs(\1, stdout)/' src/wn.c"
  • man pages:
    • 20_doc_man_wninput.patch
    • 40_doc_man_fix_names.patch
    • 41_doc_man_fix_names.patch

@respiranto

Thanks for digging into that!

I've applied the patches from Guix. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the Debian ones to apply (not sure what "orig" is supposed to mean, but it definitely doesn't mean "original source" in this case).
