- make it less language-dependent:
- having only one source package for all languages
- permits to make a shared TODO file
- permits unified bug reporting (and fixing)
- eases modifications (ex: putting dictionaries in a shared
directory for other packages as well (Mozilla))
- autogenerate binary packages following zipfiles put in the right
directory and using zipfile as upstream package and adding a diff-file
for Debian package
- include README files from upstream zipfiles as doc
Rene, tell me what you think about this.
What the issue with the OOO <-> Mozilla is, I would think about doing
packages installing the dictionaries into /usr/share/myspell (as Chris
proposed alreday).
The problem I see is the linking to the places OOo wants it to have. We
can link from /usr/lib/openoffice/..... to the apprpriate files in
/usr/share/myspell.
When we do this in the OOo package we'll have much dead links around. We
could not do it in the myspell package because the myspell package
should then work if mozilla but not OOo is installed. Mozillas related
packages have to have to handle this in an equal way.
We can do the openoffice.org-spellcheck* packages to exists, depending
on the package(s) containing the appropriate dictionaries and let the
openoffice.org-spellcheck-* packages create the links.
It may be that I am thinking worse now and there is an easy solution
that I did not see now, because at the moment I have much to do and
though just a little moment about the issue...

Rene
