Subject: aspell-sv: Needs repackaging for latest aspell

Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 14:48:49 -0700

Package: aspell-sv
Severity: grave
Version: 0.50-2-4
Tags: sid


As of the aspell 0.60.3-2 package, I changed the location in which
aspell looks for dictionaries from /usr/lib/aspell-0.60 to
/usr/lib/aspell (for support for autobuilding dictionary hashes).
Obviously, this broke all existing dictionaries so I made it conflict
with dictionaries providing aspell6-dictionary.

Additionally, as of version 0.60.3-3 in conjunction with
dictionaries-common >= 0.49.2, aspell now fully supports building
dictionary hashes at install time.  This provides two huge advantages
over packaging the hashes in the .deb:

1. The dictionary packages may be Arch: all, which for some dictionaries
   provides a significant relief to the mirrors.

2. The hashes will be automatically rebuilt for new aspell versions if
   the dictionary format changes, eliminating the need to transition all
   dictionary packages.

Consequently, this is now the preferred method for packaging aspell
dictionaries.


Packaging dictionaries for aspell >= 0.60.3-3
---------------------------------------------

[Old-style hashes (.rws files) in .deb]

1. Change "Provides: aspell6-dictionary" to "Provides:
   aspell6a-dictionary"

2. Ensure dictionary files are installed to /usr/lib/aspell

3. Remove any dependency on libaspell15 (see #310590) or aspell-bin
   (which no longer exists).  Instead depend on aspell (>= 0.60.3-2).


[New-style autobuilt hashes]

1. Change "Provides: aspell6-dictionary" to "Provides:
   aspell-dictionary" (no version in name).

2. Remove build-dependency on aspell(-bin)

3. Change Architecture to "all"

4. Add binary package dependency on "aspell (>= 0.60.3-3)"

5. Remove any relationship on libaspell15 or aspell-bin

6. Package an empty file /var/lib/aspell/$DICT_LANG.compat (where
   $DICT_LANG is the iso code for the dictionary, e.g. "en")

7. Install the wordlists compressed as .mwl.gz, .wl.gz, or .cwl.gz to
   /usr/share/aspell.

8. For each of the above wordlists:

   a. Package an empty file /var/lib/aspell/$WORDLIST.rws (where
      $WORDLIST is the wordlist filename minus the .*wl.gz extension)

   b. Add a symlink /usr/lib/aspell/$WORDLIST.rws ->
      /var/lib/aspell/$WORDLIST.rws

   c. Append the $WORDLIST to the file
      "/usr/share/aspell/$DICT_LANG/.contents".  The .contents file
      should contain one $WORDLIST per line.

9. Add a postinst call to "/usr/sbin/update-dictcommon-aspell"--the
   easiest way to do this is to build-depend on dictionaries-common-dev
   (>= 0.9.1) and run installdeb-aspell from debian/rules.

For some examples, see aspell-en (for dictionaries based on
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict tarballs) or aspell-es (for
dictionaries based on plain wordlists).

If the dictionary is packaged correctly, you should see something like:

Setting up aspell-en (6.0-0-5) ...
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en-common]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en-variant_0]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en-variant_1]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en-variant_2]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_CA-w_accents-only]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_CA-wo_accents-only]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_GB-ise-w_accents-only]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_GB-ise-wo_accents-only]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_GB-ize-w_accents-only]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_GB-ize-wo_accents-only]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_US-w_accents-only]
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: en [en_US-wo_accents-only]

when installing.  The dictionary should then work the same as before.


Please send any questions to the dict-common-dev@lists.alioth.debian.org
mailing list.

tags 319667 patch
thank you

Vill du ha hjälp med detta? Jag har implementerat de ändringar som
behövs genom att kika på aspell-en och byggt ett eget paket (se
http://fryken.frryd.se/~magnus/aspell-sv_0.50-2-5_all.deb). Källkodsdiff
och DSC i
http://fryken.frryd.se/~magnus/aspell-sv_0.50-2-5.(diff.gz|dsc). Du får
ändra i debian/changelog och förstås rent allmänt kolla igenom så jag
inte installerat några bakdörrar. :-)

Sammanfattningsvis är det debian/control och debian/rules som ändrats
och debian/dirs och debian/install har skapats (kopierats från
aspell-en). configure och Makefile.pre används inte alls längre.

Nja, paketet är redan klart för flera månader sedan men Brian Nelson
verkar inte vilja ladda upp det. Om du har upload-rättigheter så får du
gärna ladda upp mitt paket.

Subject: clarification on situation regarding aspell-sv

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

tags 319667 = confirmed patch
thanks
(setting the tags to reflect that the upload isn't really "pending")

hi,

was unhappy to see that aspell-sv is still uninstallable in
sid as of today, and unfortunately min svenska är inte så bra,
so i'm not sure i fully understand why.

am i understanding correctly that you (erik) have prepared
a new package to meet the criteria of the new aspell, but brian
is unable or unwilling to upload it for some reason?  if so, is
it merely a lack of time/interest, or are there technicalities
in the packaging that are a problem?

in any case, i'd be happy to spend the time to sponsor the upload
if it's not going to tread on anyone's toes.


	sean

No good reason from me, other than I've just been too busy to look at
the package.  I'll take a look at it right now...

If I don't sponsor it by tomorrow, feel free to take care of it
yourself.
