Re: Myspell packaging
Hi,
FYI, OOo can use any unique name so you could easily change the names of all
of the en_GB.dic/.aff to en-GB.dic/.aff and OOo would care worth a damn as
long as you register it under that name in the dictionary.lst.
So why not simpoly change the names of the dictionaries to fit what Mozilla
seems to need and forget about all of the symlinks for the names of the
dictionaries.
You would still need to hide thesaurus and hyphenation dics though.
