Bug#619075: lintian: some mis-spellings



Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist

This is some misspellings I've made which might be added to the
spellings/corrections file.  Current package descriptions with them
aren't meant to pick on anyone in particular :-).

    writeable      -> writable, eg. libtext-format-ruby
    Overwriteable  -> overwritable, eg. cdrskin
    requried       -> required, eg. gridengine-common
    Requred        -> required, eg. libimage-base-bundle-perl
    continously    -> continuously, eg. libfile-tail-perl
    explictly      -> explicitly, eg. libmoosex-semiaffordanceaccessor-perl
    explict        -> explicit, likewise but not anywhere at the moment
    grabing        -> grabbing, eg. perlconsole

    the the        doublon, eg. libmath-spline-perl

For "the the" might want to think about only "The the" or "the the",
since bash-doc has

    Documentation and examples for the The GNU Bourne Again SHell

trying to say the name of the manual starting with "The", though
personally I'd be inclined not to double it like that, and would make
the spell checking simpler ...
