Bug#999732: libreoffice-dictionaries: Please adopt hunspell-an
Source: libreoffice-dictionaries
Version: 1:7.1.0~rc3-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: dmjpp@hotmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
Please enable hunspell-an build from libreoffice-dictionaries sources.
This was originally requested by Dimitrij Mijoski in #991966 hunspell-an bug
report, I am copying his reasoning,
Package: hunspell-an
The current package shows a Firefox extension as Homepage (and probably
upstream). This is not a very good upstream. The Aragonese dictionary is
unmaintained (no updates since 2011) and it has no real upstream. It would
be best to use https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/
as upstream and
https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libreoffice-dictionaries as source
package.
Why this should be done? Because there are certain bugs with the
dictionary and the libreoffice repository is the only place where the bug
can be fixed. I certanly can not fix it in the Firefox extension [1] or
the Libreoffice extension [2].
[1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/mk/firefox/addon/corrector-ortografico-aragones/
[2]: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/corrector-ortografico-aragones
The LibreOffice extension, the Firefox extension and the Libreoffice
collection all provide exactly the same files, no information will be lost
with this transition.
I read the bug report too quickly and just changed upstream homepage, but
after reading it more carefully I agree with him.
Thanks,
