Dear list,
I am working on improving the packaging of dictionary files for Gentoo Linux. So I would like to find information about a couple of things related to dictionaries. I have asked the same question on the user's mailing list and the Q&A site, but did not receive any sufficiently complete response. Gentoo's ‘stable’ version is 5.2, so I'd also be interested to know if anything related to my questions differs between 5.2 and later. My questions: * Where are dictionary files stored when installed system-wide (so not user-specific)? I have observed that LibreOffice looks in the /usr/share/myspell directory (or is it /usr/share/hunspell?) and there picks up dictionaries named xx_YY, but not others, such as xx or xx-zzzzz. * Given that oxt extension files dictionaries are typically made available as contain dictionaries.xml and dictionaries.xcu files that seem to be used by LibreOffice to correctly label them and associate locales with, where should these files be put if the dictionaries are installed system-wide? I've seen that user-specific, they are apparently put in (for me) in locations such as $HOME/.config/libreoffice/4/user/extensions/tmp/extensions/lu32329umnj1w.tmp_/some.oxt/, which does not give an indication where they should be put system-wide. * What files are effectively required by LibreOffice for proper functioning dictionaries. I know that putting xx_YY.aff and xx_YY.dic files and such in /usr/share/myspell makes them available, but I have the impression that this in an incomplete way, and that, e.g., the xcu and xml files should be made available as well. Is this true and are there other files to be installed as well? * Can dictionaries of the form xx or xx-zzzzz be used by LibreOffice when installed in /usr/share/myspell, or is a _YY region identifier really needed?
