  • Bug#265465: libmyspell-dev: /usr/bin/is2my-spell.pl hardcoded to french

    From Jonas Smedegaard@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 13 12:20:08 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: libmyspell-dev
    Version: 1:3.1-8
    Severity: normal

    The helper script /usr/bin/is2my-spell.pl is hardcoded for use with french dictionaries only.

    It should either be moved to /usr/share/doc/libmyspell-dev/examples or (preferrably) be changed to read a configfile and/or accept options setting/overriding those values.

    | Oh, well, I am not the author and the script was written specifically
    | for the french stuff so there is a problem :)
    |
    | Additionally, there is the problem that ispell-fr and ispell-fr-gut use
    | this script to create the french myspell dicts (as is the scripts
    | purpose). It is not allowed to rely on something in /usr/share/doc/....

    If you consider the script only relevant for ispell-fr and ispell-fr-gut
    then tell the package maintainer of those packages to include the script
    ~ directly within their own packages (and, if you want to play nice with
    the past then make your package conflict with ispell-{fr,fr-gut} earlier
    than and equal to the current version).

    If you want to provide the script as an example file that is also
    permitted for packages to rely on, then place it below /usr/lib/myspell /usr/share/myspell and symlink it to
    /usr/share/doc/libmyspell-dev/examples, as I believe is described in
    Policy somewhere.

    yeah, well, then it could be included in their source only but somehow I
    don't like the duplication...

    permitted for packages to rely on, then place it below /usr/lib/myspell /usr/share/myspell and symlink it to

    Hmm. Good point. I'll do this post-sarge to prevent causing ispell-fr*
    to FTBFS so short before the freeze...
