Hi, I think all the preliminary steps are done with 1.22.6 upload to sid. I have also uploaded 1.23.0~exp1 to experimental including a different handling of autobuildhash symlinks intended to stop shipping symlinks in package itself. I have also uploaded to sid most of the dictionaries I am the only maintainer. They use new substvars and got ready to be rebuilt against 1.23 once it is considered ready for sid. This should help finding pending bugs in sid version. Unfortunately none of them is a basic aspell dict to create a single aspell dict package, so they did not benefit from aspell-simple. Also built a small part of those dictionaries against experimental version and uploaded to experimental, iportuguese_20140211-2~exp1_all.deb wportuguese_20140211-2~exp1_all.deb igalician-minimos_0.5-37~exp1_all.deb wgalician-minimos_0.5-37~exp1_all.deb aspell-gl-minimos_0.5-37~exp1_all.deb ifaroese_0.4.2-3~exp1_all.deb wfaroese_0.4.2-3~exp1_all.deb aspell-fo_0.4.2-3~exp1_all.deb myspell-fo_0.4.2-3~exp1_all.deb ispanish_1.11-6~exp1_all.deb myspell-es_1.11-6~exp1_all.deb aspell-es_1.11-6~exp1_all.deb to test better the system. > But IMHO that's the second step, the first is to let the > people know that there are some changes (planned) and ask for testing, > comments, concerns and maybe even ideas. > But I think that can also wait a little until you give the "GO" telling that > you think everything is now stable enough. > Just give me a ping e.g for testing... I think we can start working on this, I'd speak about aspell-simple: To make things easier for people maintaining aspell dictionaries created from pristine aspell sources. substvars: Good help for being in sync with dependencies. autobuildhash symlinks: No longer shipped with the package but created by the autobuildhash script. A list of available symlinks is put in a .remove list to make sure they are removed fro mpostrm. Dangling symlinks are searched for and removed at the trigger run (this last may have been enough, but having .remove files does not harm). as reasons to upgrade. Suggestions for more points? I have been working on these new uploads during this week and now would like to have spare time for other things. Will try to find time to start ellaborating on those points.
