Hi again Agustin! Thank you for your new reply, if i build the package based of off hunspell-en-us and get it uploaded, is there a way to make sure the ancient myspell package gets removed in favor of the new hunspell one? (That is, in a fresh install, so the user doesnt have to download it himself)
I will start to create the hunspell-sv package as soon as possible. Any concerns, tips?

Hi, Jon. Please keep mailing the relevant mailing list, so Rene (hunspell maintainer) can read these messsages and contribute.

You need to tell that, see e.g., myspell-en-us vs hunspell-en-us, Package: hunspell-en-us Version: 20070829-4 Installed-Size: 764 Maintainer: Rene Engelhard <r...@debian.org> Architecture: all Replaces: myspell-en-us, openoffice.org-spellcheck-en-us Provides: hunspell-dictionary, hunspell-dictionary-en ...

If I understand correctly Swedish has a lot of compound words, so ispell, aspell and old myspell are not good for it and hunspell is highly desirable. If that is true, old myspell-sv could be used just as basis for a limited aspell Swedish dictionary (I see in aspell site that current Swedish dict there is ancient) or simply removed once proper upgrade path is verified to work (an aspell dict can also be generated out of iswedish). > Can you reply about this concern before I continue fixing the other matters? I thinks the above is what you need, but Rene may find I missed something else. Regards, -- Agustin
