Fix it in upstream hunspell and it will eventually be rolled into the Vim sources by the maintainer of Vim's English spellfile. >> We had done some work a few years ago to make language-specific >> spellfiles packages, but at the time none of the maintainers had >> machines that could actually build all the spellfiles.

Agreed, as long as that ends up being actually feasible. It's been a while since I've worked on that patch set, but I seem to recall there was a bit of bleed over of the internal spell checking to other components (like highlighting) which could make the change difficult. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James McCoy <james...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
