Bug#860895: Please prefer hunspell over other alternatives
Source: tasksel
Version: 3.39
Severity: normal
Hi,
The different tasks are install aspell and ispell. These spelling
engines seem deprecated and replaced by hunspell (other distributions
are consolidating around hunspell, see links bellow).
Shouldn't the (main) language tasks recommends hunspell dictionary and
demote to suggests (or remove completely) the dictionaries for aspell
and ispell?
enchant also prefere hunspell over other engine, I opened #860888 to
reorder the dependencies against the dictionaries.
Regards,
Laurent Bigonville
