We usually try to avoid duplicating sources, so many of the aspell dicts are not built from the official Aspell dictionary package, but from the original (usually ispell) wordlist + aff table, with some elements taken from the official Aspell dictionary package. Also the versioning of official Aspell dictionary packages makes difficult to know which is the involved upstream version, and doing things this way makes that more clear. Fixing things is also simpler this way. Unpackaging the .cwl, fixing things and repackaging would be problematic in our packaging system, that cannot represent binary diffs against the sources. I currently maintain only one aspell dict, aspell-gl-minimos, and is directly built from ispell-gl upstream sources instead of from the official Aspell package. I plan to try taking Debian aspell-es maintenance in the near future; since I maintain the espa~nol source package, that provides ispanish and myspell-es, all the required sources are already there (and more up to date, using espa~nol 1.8 instead of 1.7). Since this has no phonetic code, is a clear candidate for affix compression. Many other Debian aspell dicts are not built from the official Aspell packages, but from upstream sources, with stuff taken from aspell official dict package. I can think now of aspell-ca aspell-nl aspell-tl but I am sure there are more. I see that aspell6-ca in aspell.sf.net already uses affix compression and has a more up-to-date myspell aff file than the one at Debian ispellcat package for myspell. > You need to be sure to specify the correct language ie "aspell clean > strict -l <lang>" the set of warnings should be the same as when compiling > the word list, if not you did something wrong. Thanks, I missed -l <lang> [P.S., no need to cc me, I am subscribed to Debian aspell package mail] Cheers, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
