ipadic for Debian
-----------------------------

ipadic is a dictionary for ChaSen which performs the morphological analysis of
Japanese texts.  Although the upstream dictionary comes in EUC-JP, it has been
converted to use UTF-8 for the modern Debian system.

This package can coexist with naist-jdic and naist-jdic-utf8.

Since naist-jdic-utf8 is based on ipadic with some updated contents,
naist-jdic-utf8 has the precedence over ipadic for the update-alternatives
system.  ipadic still has good reasons to exist since it has a better data
consistency.

You can switch default dictionary to ipadic in UTF-8 mode by:

$ sudo update-alternatives --config chasenrc

You can also force resource file to use ipadic in UTF-8 mode.

$ chasen -r /usr/share/chasen/ipadic.rc ...

NOTE:
This package was originally uploaded to the non-free area by the previous
maintainer after initially receiving few negative responses at debian-legal
without any meaningful discussion.  After careful review, the new maintainer
posted this package should be treated as DFSG compliant to the debian-legal.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2011/09/msg00010.html

Since there were no objection, this is uploaded to the main area.
