Subject: aspell-bg: Needs repackaging for latest aspell

Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 15:14:32 -0700

Package: aspell-bg
Severity: grave
Version: 3.0-4
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.

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

tags 319676 + patch
thanks

Dear Anton,

I dared to prepare a NMU for bgoffice, since in the past two months
several fellow translators and colleagues were tormenting me with
wrong accusations that Debian's quality is "poor".  This is a bloody
insult which has to be washed away ASAP.  I'm attaching the trivial
patch to the BTS, you can fetch everything from
http://fsa-bg.org/~yavorescu/debian/ or using the famous and
invaluable "debian-addons-bg" repository.
Note that this RC bug is affecting Etch and the
not-so-many-as-I'd-like-to-see companies using Debian are suffering as
well, some of them very hard ;-)

P.S. Translators and users who desperately need aspell-bg, please add
the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list until the package is
uploaded to the official archive:

deb http://ftp.uni-sofia.bg/debian-addons-bg ./

P.P.S. For the future we should seriously consider reworking/dropping
the obsolete/ugly upstream scripts in order to use aspell's new
autobuild goodies (sorry, Radostin, no intention to offend you at all).

 .
   * Repackage for the new aspell (new-style hashes).  Thanks a lot to
     Yavor Doganov and Brian Nelson and apologies for the delay.
     Closes: #319676.
   * Updated ibulgarian.info-ispell: description in Bulgarian, add
     Additionalchars and Aspell-Locales fields.
   * Invoke dh_installdebconf for aspell-bg.
   * Use installdeb-myspell rather than manually install stuff.
   * Install two Bulgarian aspell dictionaries managed by
     update-alternatives.  One that recognises only the Bulgarian words and
     second (used by default) that recognises both Bulgarian and English
     words.
   * Encode in UTF-8 the documentation in /usr/share/doc.
   * Unfortunately I have to revert the change in 3.0-4 and use again
     "microsoft-cp1251" instead of "cp1251" in bg_BG.aff.  Mozilla will
     again crash but OpenOffice is more important (IMO).  For reference:
     https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256292 and #306895.
   * Files /etc/emacs21/site-start.d/90{aspell-bg,ibulgarian}.el to
     codepage-setup cp1251.  It is still not clear to me how to support
     spelling of Bulgarian UTF-8 texts in Emacs.
   * Add entries for different Emacs versions in ibulgarian.info-ispell and
     aspell-bg.info-aspell.  Thanks to Ivan Raikov, closes: #321040.
   * Use "aspell munch-list" in order to minimise the size of the aspell
     word list (was 8.8MB uncompressed and 1.9MB compressed, now it is
     726KB uncompressed and 294K compressed).  The size of the compiled
     dictionary hash is also dramatically reduced.
