Hi! As an Ubuntu (bite me...) user, I noticed Fedora has done a great work on system-wide spellcheckers: they now use hunspell with all programs, and thus they have packaged dictionaries for many languages. These appear here:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/?tg_paginate_ordering=%7B%27name%27%3A%20%5B0%2C%20True%5D%7D&tg_paginate_limit=100&tg_paginate_no=17 For now, Debian only has a handful of hunspell dictionaries, although nice improvements have been performed in new hunspell dicts (e.g. in French). My idea is to use the work done by Fedora to build Debian packages. I'm not very good at packaging, but I can see a typical hunspell dict only contains 3 files, more Debian control files. Here you can see a RPM .spec file designed for that: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/hunspell-fr/devel/hunspell-fr.spec?view=markup What it mostly does is specifying the source of the file (they are very diverse) and copying the file. Do you think it can be easy to convert these packages to debs? Would any developer be interested it this? I'd like to work on it, but I'd prefer that a package maintainer checks and uploads the packages. If the developers that packaged the already existing dicts could help, it would be great.
