Hi, thanks for reminding.

Actually, I have been looking for some time at those new hunspell-gl
versions, but wanted to clarify first which sources should I choose, and if
they are the continuation of the old project, but did not yet send the
appropriate mails, so here we go.

After a quick look I thought that the canonical reference is
hunspell-gl-volg, but I see two prepackaged hunspell-gl dictionaries, with
few differences between them, both presenting themselves as the official RAG
standard. Is that just a matter of compatibility with old names or there is
a real difference between them I should be aware of?

Noticed that these new sources also include a thesaurus and hyphenation
files. I will upload first a package with everything together, so it reaches
sid as expected. I may be prepare later separate packages for them.

Please confirm if hunspell-gl-volg are the sources to use.

Regards,
