There's 4 packages and not 3 finally because 'libmaa' is a dependency of dictd. Everything compiles and cross-compiles, however the 'freedict-dictionaries' build is non-deterministic. One reason, hopefully the only reason for the non-deterministic output is that the 'dictzip' program includes a timestamp header in the compressed files it produces. The man page of dictzip does not document a way to modify or get rid of the timestamp header. There is a possible fix I have not tried yet, which looks like it's going to work: I could probably output non-compressed binary dictionary files (*.dict) instead of dictzipped dictionary files (*.dict.dz). In order to do it, an 'install-base' target needs to be modified. This target is found in mk/dicts.mk inside the toolchain package 'freedict-tools'. I have not found how this could be easily configured at build-time, at the moment I would only know how to do it with a patch to the 'freedict-tools' package. What's your policy, or what's your call for this case? Do you want me to try my fix, or do you find it preferable to sacrifice determinism in exchange for enjoying dictzip compression of the output, which also amounts to staying faithful to the upstream intended installation contents? Other suggestions? Runciter
