+ <description><p>I dag tok jeg mot til meg og pakket sammen en ny versjon av den
+frie norske stavekontrollen, ca. tre og et halvt år etter forrige
+gang. Resultatet kan lastes ned fra
+<a href="http://no.speling.org/">no.speling.org-prosjeksiden</a>, både
+som kildekodepakke og som "pack"-fil som kanskje fortsatt kan brukes
+av OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice. Byggesystemet trenger oppussing, men i
+denne omgang hadde jeg bare tid til å fikse byggefeil forårsaket av
+endringer i GNU grep. De øvrige endringene var gjort tidligere i
+påvente av en ny utgave.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Her er det som er nytt (fra NEWS-fila i
+kildekodepakken):</strong></p>
+
+<p>Release 2.2 (2016-04-15)</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Rewrite how scripts/speling2words handle tripple consonants, to
+ avoid importing duplicate words from no.speling.org, and getting
+ rid of the existing duplicates in norsk.words.</li>
+ <li>Remove duplicate entries with tripple consonants from norsk.words.</li>
+ <li>Update frequency for entries in norsk.words based on
+ <URL:http://helmer.aksis.uib.no/nta/ordlistf.zip> (ran 'make
+ freq-update').</li>
+ <li>Correct nn ispell build, avoid crash in munchlist causing lots of
+ words to fall out of the database.</li>
+ <li>Use grep -a to convince grep it is working on text files, to work
+ with newer grep versions.</li>
+
+ <li>Remove some words disputed in the no.speling.org review process:
+ <ul>
+ <li>apparent (nb)</li>
+ <li>likke (nb)</li>
+ <li>ugjest, ugjesten, ugjestens (nb)</li>
+ </ul></li>
+
+</ul>

- <title>Creating, updating and checking debian/copyright semi-automatically</title>

- <description><p>Making packages for Debian requires quite a lot of attention to
-details. And one of the details is the content of the
-debian/copyright file, which should list all relevant licenses used by
-the code in the package in question, preferably in
-<a href="https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/">machine
-readable DEP5 format</a>.</p>
-
-<p>For large packages with lots of contributors it is hard to write
-and update this file manually, and if you get some detail wrong, the
-package is normally rejected by the ftpmasters. So getting it right
-the first time around get the package into Debian faster, and save
-both you and the ftpmasters some work.. Today, while trying to figure
-out what was wrong with
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686447">the
-zfsonlinux copyright file</a>, I decided to spend some time on
-figuring out the options for doing this job automatically, or at least
-semi-automatically.</p>
-
-<p>Lucikly, there are at least two tools available for generating the
-file based on the code in the source package,
-<tt><a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/debmake">debmake</a></tt>
-and <tt><a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cme">cme</a></tt>. I'm
-not sure which one of them came first, but both seem to be able to
-create a sensible draft file. As far as I can tell, none of them can
-be trusted to get the result just right, so the content need to be
-polished a bit before the file is OK to upload. I found the debmake
-option in
-<a href="http://goofying-with-debian.blogspot.com/2014/07/debmake-checking-source-against-dep-5.html">a
-blog posts from 2014</a>.
-
-<p>To generate using debmake, use the -cc option:
-
-<p><pre>
-debmake -cc > debian/copyright
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>Note there are some problems with python and non-ASCII names, so
-this might not be the best option.</p>
-
-<p>The cme option is based on a config parsing library, and I found
-this approach in
-<a href="https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/improving-creation-of-debian-copyright-file/">a
-blog post from 2015</a>. To generate using cme, use the 'update
-dpkg-copyright' option:
-
-<p><pre>
-cme update dpkg-copyright
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>This will create or update debian/copyright. The cme tool seem to
-handle UTF-8 names better than debmake.</p>
-
-<p>When the copyright file is created, I would also like some help to
-check if the file is correct. For this I found two good options,
-<tt>debmake -k</tt> and <tt>license-reconcile</tt>. The former seem
-to focus on license types and file matching, and is able to detect
-ineffective blocks in the copyright file. The latter reports missing
-copyright holders and years, but was confused by inconsistent license
-names (like CDDL vs. CDDL-1.0). I suspect it is good to use both and
-fix all issues reported by them before uploading. But I do not know
-if the tools and the ftpmasters agree on what is important to fix in a
-copyright file, so the package might still be rejected.</p>
-
-<p>The devscripts tool <tt>licensecheck</tt> deserve mentioning. It
-will read through the source and try to find all copyright statements.
-It is not comparing the result to the content of debian/copyright, but
-can be useful when verifying the content of the copyright file.</p>
-
-<p>Are you aware of better tools in Debian to create and update
-debian/copyright file. Please let me know, or blog about it on
-planet.debian.org.</p>

-<p>As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
-activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address

-
-<p><strong>Update 2016-02-20</strong>: I got a tip from Mike Gabriel
-on how to use licensecheck and cdbs to create a draft copyright file
-
-<p><pre>
-licensecheck --copyright -r `find * -type f` | \
- /usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 > debian/copyright.auto
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>He mentioned that he normally check the generated file into the
-version control system to make it easier to discover license and
-copyright changes in the upstream source. I will try to do the same
-with my packages in the future.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2016-02-21</strong>: The cme author recommended
-against using -quiet for new users, so I removed it from the proposed
-command line.</p>
