Bug#410291: [patch] Change Finnish spellchecking to use high-quality Voikko
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.66
Tags: patch
Hello,
Attached is a patch that changes the tasks for Finnish language to use the
first high quality free software spell-checking and hyphenation solution,
ie. Voikko. All packages are included in etch.
Tmispell-voikko completely replaces ifinnish and wfinnish.
Libenchant-voikko adds support for those programs (the next upstream
version of libenchant will also include the plugin by itself).
There's no direct replacement for aspell-fi and myspell-fi, but I
recommend removing those from the default installation, since the quality
of those is too low to be usable for writing Finnish. Furthermore,
myspell-fi might cause problems with openoffice.org-voikko, requiring
manual settings for the superior spell-checking to work. Those packages
may be installed by anyone if it is really wanted, but the better solution
is to eg. convert aspell/myspell using programs to use libenchant anyway,
or wait for (theoretical) aspell/myspell-compatibility programs ala
tmispell-voikko from the Voikko project.
Naturally it'd be "nice to have" in etch, but do as you see fit.
BR,
Timo Jyrinki
