Subject: aspell-fo: Needs repackaging for latest aspell

Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 15:06:52 -0700

Package: aspell-fo
Severity: grave
Version: 0.2.16-1.1
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.

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

Hi,

I've been working on fixing the outstanding bugs of aspell-fo and came up 
with the patch (attached), which addresses both #313087 and #319673. The 
list of changes (suitable for inclusion in changelog) is:

  * Implemented required changes to adapt aspell-fo to latest aspell and
    dictionary packaging policy:
    - Added the dictionary info file, installed as
      /var/lib/dictionaries/common/aspell/aspell-fo.
    - Switched to 'Architecture: all', as the arch-dependent files
      are now generated at install time.
    - Added dependency on aspell (>= 0.60.3-3), dropped dependency
      on libaspell15.
    - Changed Provides to aspell-dictionary instead of aspell6-dictionary.
    - Changed debian/rules to generate an arch-independent word list
      instead of aspell master file, it installs into /usr/share/aspell.
    - Added build-dependency on aspell, since it contains the prezip
      utility required for building the compressed word list.
    - Added the files required by new aspell.
    - Added an invocation of installdeb-aspell to debian/rules. It
      installs the dictionary info file and adds postinst and postrm
      scripts which register and deregister the dictionary.
    (Closes: #319673)
  * Changed all references to the name of the language to its code
    (fo), as recommended by aspell manual and the policy, to avoid
    the problems caused by inconsistent naming.
    (Closes: #313087)
  * Converted changelog to utf8 (it had some latin accented characters
    in it) to avoid lintian error.

Best regards,

Hi Peter,

Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt (he@d.o) has kindly agreed to sponsor an NMU 
of aspell-fo based on my patch (included above). Please let us know if 
there any reason why it should not be done, otherwise it is going to be 
uploaded next weekend (March 4-5).

Best regards,
