Thanks for your comments, Mattia. I have considered it further, and created a new PPA, this time with lo- dicts 1:5.1.0-1:
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts4 This time I made use of the nifty debian/helper.py, and to start with I made the version change which you already made in git. As you suggested I created a bunch of transitional packages. That required that the Conficts fields in the corresponding hunspell-* packages and the hyphen-no package were replaced with Breaks/Replaces. I agree it's not necessary to make those changes in Debian, since they can be dropped after xenial. Please note that I made a transitional myspell-es package. The current myspell-es includes a Conflict field to hunspell-es, so the packages do conflict, even if there are no file conflicts. I blacklisted hyphen-et for consistency reasons - hunspell-et is blacklisted - and deleted debian/hyphen-et.install. You may want to consider these changes for Debian. Otherwise, if someone installs hyphen-et, myspell-et gets deleted, and they have no access to a spellchecker. As regards openoffice.org-hyphenation, I think you are right: The Conflicts/Replaces fields I first suggested would be unnecessary. ** Summary changed: - Rebase/Reimplement Ubuntu changes upon Debian (possibly upstream them) + [FFe] Sync (almost) with libreoffice-dictionaries in Debian sid ** Description changed: - libreoffice-dictionaries hasnt been synced from Debian for a while and - has Ubuntu-local change.

(libreoffice-dictionaries was created rather ad-hoc around 4.2 before Debian did, replacing the old openoffice-dictionaries, thus the missing updates since). ** Also affects: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: openoffice.org-hyphenation (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libreoffice-dictionaries (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Medium ** Changed in: libreoffice-dictionaries (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => New ** Changed in: libreoffice-dictionaries (Ubuntu) Assignee: Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: openoffice.org-hyphenation (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510198 Title: [FFe] Sync (almost) with libreoffice-dictionaries in Debian sid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1510198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
