Spec URL: https://jjames.fedorapeople.org/snowball/snowball.spec SRPM URL: https://jjames.fedorapeople.org/snowball/snowball-2.2.0-3.fc38.src.rpm Fedora Account System Username: jjames Description: Snowball is a small string processing language for creating stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval, plus a collection of stemming algorithms implemented using it.
Snowball was originally designed and built by Martin Porter. Martin retired from development in 2014 and Snowball is now maintained as a community project. Martin originally chose the name Snowball as a tribute to SNOBOL, the excellent string handling language from the 1960s. It now also serves as a metaphor for how the project grows by gathering contributions over time.
This RPM package is a merge of the existing libstemmer and python-snowballstemmer packages. It will replace both of them, and will ensure that they stay on the same version going forward.
