I have made deb's of the Swedish myspell package (spell check and

The files can be found at

The debianization is more or less copied from the
openoffice.org-dictionaries source package.
I have tested the packages together with OOo 1.1.0-2 and it works
fine. Together with mozilla 1.5-3 the spell checking works, but
"Swedish" isn't an option in the dialog, you'll have to choose sv_SE
or sv-SE.
I would appreciate if someone would like to sponsor the packages so
that they can make their way into debian eventually.
Sure, thanks for making the packages. I have a few points:
1. Please file an ITP for your packages as documented in [1]
Done.
2. We were asked by the ftpmasters not to create such small hyphenation
packages alone [2]. How about creating a single package that
includes both the dictionary and hyphenation, calling it
myspell-sv-se and in addition,
Provides: openoffice.org-hyphenation-sv, openoffice.org-hyphenation?
Shouldn't it provide: openoffice.org-hyphenation-sv-se aswell ?
3. I guess this was to make the dictionary work with Mozilla?
myspell-sv-1.3.8-6/debian$ cat myspell-sv-se.links
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv_SE.aff /usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv-SE.aff
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv_SE.dic /usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv-SE.dic
No, this was because the dsdt-policy draft says so:
http://dict-common.alioth.debian.org/dsdt-policy.html#installdir
OOo does not need you to call the dictionary sv_SE.dic - I suggest you
install it with the filename that Mozilla requires and change
myspell-sv-se.dictlistinfo to read 'DICT sv SE sv-SE'. That way you do
not need the links.
What I tried to describe earlier is that it doesn't work correctly with
mozilla even with these symlinks, contrary to what
http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/installation.html#dictionaries lead me to
believe. If I make symlinks
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv.aff
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv.dic
then "Swedish" becomes an option in the spellcheck dialog, this could however
conflict with a Finno-Swedish package.
I'm not sure if the differences between sv_SE and sv_FI are large enough to justify two different
packages, so maybe there is no real risc for conflict. The fact that mozilla understands
"sv" but not "sv_SE" can perhaps be taken as an indication that the mozilla
developers consider the difference small.
