skkdic source tarball for Debian
--------------------------------

The upstream source tarball skkdic_YYYYMMDD.orig.tar.gz for Debian's
skkdic package is repackaged by Debian skkdic package maintainer since
the dictionary data files are distributed separately via CVS and WWW,
not as gzipped tarball.  Also, files related to EDICT is excluded from
the source tarball in repackaging since they are distributed under a
DFSG non-free license.

The procedure to roll the tarball is as follows:

1) Export the most recent version of dictionary data directory skk/dic
   from the CVS repository :pserver:guest@openlab.jp:/circus/cvsroot.

2) Rename the source directory skk/dic as skkdic-YYYYMMDD.orig.

3) Remove EDICT-related files, SKK-JISYO.edict and edict_doc.txt, from
   the source directory.

4) Roll the tarball skkdic_YYYYMMDD.orig.tar.gz with maximal
   compression.

For more information about actual commands to do this, see the
get-orig-source target in debian/rules.  To repeat the procedure, just
run it, like `./debian/rules get-orig-source', after making sure you
have installed the cvs package.
