The release numbering is imposed by aspell.net in the format X.Y for major releases and X.Y.Z for minor releases. It is a pretty standard numbering scheme, most projects are using it. Based on this version, a number of Unix and Linux distributions are driving automatic updates. Unfortunately, we cannot change it now without breaking everything. Also, Fedora depends on this type of versions for automatic updates (they grab the dictionaries directly from us, without going trough aspell.net).
OpenOffice.org is moving away from the release format based on date. The extensions are already using X.Y.Z format. You might still find dictionaries in the old format on http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries however, they tend to be old dictionaries. The main update mechanism OpenOffice.org today is the extension mechanism. This is something that might work for you. We have a version X.Y.Z on the first line of ro_RO.aff file. We use this number for customer support and to track GPL compliance. Given the version from ro_RO.aff file, it is very easy for us to say this file was generated from this specific svn version. I can easily add in the same file a date when the the dictionary was created. You can use it to drive your release numbering. I guess the most important thing is to be able to reproduce a specific user dictionary from svn and to fix whatever problems are reported. This is why we keep the version in ro_RO.aff file under svn control. How the various distribution packages are numbered is irrelevant, all the support requests are still coming to us. -- Romanian spell-check dictionary uses incorect diacritics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214193 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
