Hi, In this particular case, lo-dicts ships hunspell-da, however from different author hunspell-da: Copyright (C) 2014 Foreningen for frit tilgængelige sprogværktøjer Website: http://www.stavekontrolden.dk E-mail: i...@stavekontrolden.dk License: GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1/MPL 1.1 tri-license myspell-da: Copyright (C) 1998-2004 Skåne Sjælland Linux User Group <bestyrel...@sslug.dk> and the contributors. License: GPL 2+ Website: http://da.speling.org/fejlmelding/ In these cases, we usually select one of them only if there is a clear consensus that one is clearly better than the other. Otherwise, I personally prefer to keep both. Jonas, what the Danish users groups think about these two dicts? Considering current versions, if it is clear that hunspell-da should supersede myspell-da, it is better if lo-dicts ships the transitional myspell-da. Once it reaches testing we can remove old myspell-da and the transition would be complete. Note that this requires agreement from myspell-da maintainer(s). Thanks for your contribution, -- Agustin
