Let's separate the issues: 1)users do not care about versions but that is no explanation or excuse for gratuitously picking a version that is inferior to the one used with a package with the same name. Developers and packagers care about versions because that is how things work sanely. It is a basic requirement from every upstream nothing particular to myspell-ro. Play nice with distros. The fact that Fedora just recently added myspell-ro means it had not had to figure out an upgrade path from a larger version umber to a smaller one. If users do not care about version numbers please adopt a new one for myspell-ro and we are all fine. that will help gentoo as well which is stuil stuck in 2006 as far as I can see when it comes to myspell-ro. Lucian have you bugged them about it?
2) Comma. The fact that X.org adopted commas is by itslef no argument. It weas done in the same way without actually or necessarily evaluating what is safest for users. The fact that there is a law is not really helping either a there are laws for many things, some realistic some not. If we cannot make sure that a document written by a newbie is not getting across as junk to an unsuspecting XP user - over 60% of the market I am not comfortable with breaking the existing, less optimal but basically interoperable support. I want this mess cleared just as you do, but I do not think that the techincal solution on forcing it upon users is the best way. That is the easiest for _us_ developers, it gets the problem off our chest and saves us some trouble and time but it is basically throwing the responsibility to the users, who 'should know better' or 'learn' or 'be educated about it' . That is a pipe dream IMHO. Just as you do not get people to use firefox until they hear about it everywhere you won't get them use standard spelling just because you hope so or because it is a good idea. As far as I am concerned I am updating the package with the extended word set if the version number is fixed. That, even if not what you want is clearly an improvement over the smaller dictionary, with _no_ regression. The rest of the issue we can talk about separately and until we get an agreement, if we care about the same things that is :) -- Romanian spell-check dictionary uses incorect diacritics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214193 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
