Package: aspell-it Version: 0.60-2 Severity: wishlist During the compilation of the dictionary file (it.rws), a lot of warning messages are generated and many of them can easily be removed.
The wordlist (it.cwl) is derived from Myspell and has the following format: (1) the first line is an integer specifying the number of lines that follow ("91477") (2) there's a block of line starting with "/ " containing some copyright informations; these are just comments. (3) the previous blocks are followed by the dictionary words: this is the important stuff. (1) causes the following warning message: "Warning: The word "91477" is invalid. The character '9' (U+39) may not appear at the beginning of a word. Skipping word." (2) causes the following: Warning: Removing invalid affix ' ' from word . Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'C' from word . Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'o' from word . ... Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 't' from word . Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'm' from word . Warning: Removing invalid affix 'l' from word . (3) causes the following: Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'T' from word cento. Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'q' from word cento. Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'T' from word cinquanta. ... Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'q' from word tr? Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'T' from word venti. Warning: Removing inapplicable affix 'q' from word venti. ---- (1),(2) can be avoided with the following patch which filters out the unneeded text at compile time: --- Makefile.pre.orig 2005-05-10 10:46:45.000000000 +0200 +++ Makefile.pre 2005-05-10 10:47:26.000000000 +0200 @@ -57,5 +57,5 @@ .SUFFIXES: .cwl .rws .cwl.rws: - cat < $< | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=it create master ./$@ + cat < $< | tail +2 | grep -v "^\/ " | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=it create master ./$@ As for (3) I asked upstream and it's a known issue which could be fixed in the near future. Those are just warnings and I verified that there are no error hiding behind those; I still think it's better to keep everything as clean as possible.
