Hi, beginning with lenny I'd like to fix the MySpell/Hunspell mess (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/12/msg00142.html if you don't know what I speak of) and fix the fact that even OpenOffice.orgs thesauri and hyphenation patterns are currently in /usr/share/myspell/dicts... I propose the following: - - /usr/share/myspell (without dicts/(!) analogous to hspell and aspell) containing all MySpell dictionaries. Mozilla *s/Ice*s symlink needs to be changed to point to this unless they change to hunspell.. Question: Should we keep it still? Or not just remove it when all MySpell-using apps/libs switched tu Hunspell (which then look in /usr/share/hunspell, see below) - - /usr/share/hunspell contains all Hunspell dictionaries, MySpell packages contain symlinks to the myspell dir there since Myspell dictionaries are 100% compatible with Hunspell. When the Mozilla*/Ice* in question uses hunspell the link should point here. enchant should rebuild with matching --with-myspell-dir. In both cases the dictionaries should only be there in xx-YY (or xx, for some cases where this currently also is necessary) form, Mozilla doesn't regognize the _ and just shows them uselessly, where it also shows the - ones and this mostly with a proper title (like English/USA). OOo doesn't care about the name at all and if you would want to keep the _ you could name the symlink (see next paragraph) appropriately. Question: Should Hunspell dicts and MySpell dicts for the same language still conflict? Or should there only be a symlink from the hunspell to the myspell directory if there only is myspell dictionary available? - - The OOo info files now get into a new directory (/usr/share/openoffice/share/dict/ooo maybe which would probably not need much fiddling in OOo after all (OOo excpects the dicts/) The info files for OOo should now be installed here; in /usr/share/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/info or even in ooo itself since OOo only regognizes what is defined in dictionary.lst). MySpell and Hunspell dictionaries should have a symlink from here pointing to /usr/share/myspell or /usr/share/hunspell. OpenOffice.org Thesauri and Hyphenation patterns are installed into this location with their "normal" files and registered with the info file. Of course, update-openoffice-dicts needs to be changed for this. dictionary.lst there is a symlink to /etc/openoffice/dictionary.lst which stays the same. Of course this plan needs appropriate conflicts/depends worked out for preventing upgrades breaking and need some updates in the DSDT policy and dictionaries-commons scripts and in the various affected packages but it should be doable - with appropriate RC bugs and NMUing of myspell packages if necessary.
