Hi, Jordi
I think you need to use affix compression, but previously upstream
(or you) need to fix myspell affix file so aspell accepts it. Some things
there are not accepted by aspell, see my experiments about using affix
compression in aspell-ca
http://bugs.debian.org/311391
Since I filed that bugreport against the source package ispellcat instead of
aspell-ca, it went probably missed, since I never received any reply. I cite
the good news there,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPILOG) And the good news ;-)
=============================
And now, after the lo...oong report, the good news, building the catalan
dict unstripped but with affix compression produces a 3.7Mb hash file,
instead of the >100Mb file that was previously needed for the unstripped
version.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If upstream is too busy now to deal with this I suggest you to use aspell
affix file in aspell6-ca (in the aspell site), that has been fine tuned by
Kevin Atkinson to work with affix compression. I hope it will also work well
for myspell, but in case not, keep two myspell type affix files, one for
myspell and other for aspell, as a temporary fix.
I am attaching a patch with what I think should work for using affix
compression, once myspell affix file is fixed (another couple of problems
are also fixed in the patch). Note that it will not work for aspell
with current affix file.
Salut,
