You could try and pick up the WordNet package from the review request
and
do a rpmbuild of the SRPM locally. The submitter did update his submission
few days back.
As for Xpaint, I will try and prepare an interim package for you by tonight or
tomorrow morning.
Rakesh pointed out that XPaint is available in ATRPMs [1]. Is it an
option for you to enable ATRPMs till we get it into Fedora proper,
assuming that there are no hitherto unseen hurdles?
Cheers,
Debarshi

Well WordNet package(as of now) is broken a bit(at BZ) and reporter
needs a sponsor, though he seems to be active.

Yes, the reporter needs a sponsor and yes he also tries to be active (tho' he
just saw this thread ...he has not been reading posts to this list as frequently
as he should have been -- ah well :) !)
Anyways, yes ! I do need a sponsor, so it'd be great if someone could please
help me with that.

I am using FC 8. I will be so grateful to you if you can make Wordnet
work for me.

Sadly it is EOL (End of Life i.e no support), it would better if you
can move to F-10.
That's correct. Also, i do not have access to a fedora 8 box, so I'm sorry I
can't build the rpm for you. If upgrading to F10 is not an option for you right
now, i think you can just take the source rpm from the bugzilla request and
rebuild it on your system:
$ rpmbuild --rebuild <source rpm>
...or just get the source package from wordnet.princeton.edu itself. The build
is not complicated, the dependencies are
tcl, tcl-devel, tk, tk-devel, automake and libX11-devel
cheers,
- steve

Thank you Steve, I think I would go the tarball way, have never tried
the RPM thing. But compiled the Wordnet binaries once or twice before.
If I am remembering correctly till F7 everything would run just fine,
but then in F8 something in tcl/tk showed error during make, something
about the path where make expected to get tclconfig script or tkconfig
script was different in Fedora, or something like that. Maybe the clue
is tcl-devel and tk-devel that you suggested.
Thank you once again, but, please bear with me if I report some error,
I really need this thing. And obviously for the time being, at least
for three or four more months I don't have any plan to change OS.

Thank you Steve, Rakesh, Debarshi
My laptop is now a proud owner of the excellent WordNet binaries, and
no more it will suffer from lack of words, I presume.

Due to some other problems, I finally changed my system from F8 to F10.
Now, is there some kind soul who can create the RPM-s for 'xpaint' and
'wordnet'?
Thanking you in advance

Hello Das,
Quoting das <dasd.here(a)gmail.com>:
Due to some other problems, I finally changed my system from F8 to
F10.
Now, is there some kind soul who can create the RPM-s for 'xpaint' and
'wordnet'?
The original wordnet BZ pointed out in this thread was for F10
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473583
which, unfortunately, is /still/ pending a review (and
sponsorship)[1]. However, you may use the source rpm in the BZ[2] and
rebuild it.
As for xpaint, seems like the package on sourceforge isn't been
maintained actively (last update Aug 2005). Is there a reason why you
do not want to use any of the many alternative paint packages ?
I could try and package it for you, but in case you are really
interested in getting that package and you are inclined, I'd recommend
having a go at creating and submitting the rpm yourself ! After all
FOSS is all about scratching your own itch.
regards,
- steve
[1] Could someone /please/ review this and sponsor me ? I'd be more
motivated to package some of the other small apps i use which aren't
in fedora if i have access to the build and hosting system.

As for xpaint, ...
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it is already there in ATRPMs
[1]. Some souls in #fedora-devel had expressed some doubts over
bringing it into Fedora due to its seemingly unmaintained status, but
if it is really _that_ useful we can always do it.
Cheers,
Debarshi

Thanks I will install 'xpaint' from there.

Dear Steve
Sorry that I sent the earlier reply to your personal id. Usually I use
'claws-mail' and so get a bit confused with this google-interface.
Anyway, the stress on 'xpaint' is that I once did quite a few jobs
with it. And it was quite good for my humble needs. I know there are a
lot of new and modern things there, but, ahem, it takes some labor to
learn a new thing, doesn't it?
