Sure, thanks for making the packages. I have a few points:
1. Please file an ITP for your packages as documented in [1]
2. We were asked by the ftpmasters not to create such small hyphenation
packages alone [2]. How about creating a single package that
includes both the dictionary and hyphenation, calling it
myspell-sv-se and in addition,
Provides: openoffice.org-hyphenation-sv, openoffice.org-hyphenation?
3. I guess this was to make the dictionary work with Mozilla?
myspell-sv-1.3.8-6/debian$ cat myspell-sv-se.links
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv_SE.aff /usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv-SE.aff
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv_SE.dic /usr/share/myspell/dicts/sv-SE.dic
OOo does not need you to call the dictionary sv_SE.dic - I suggest you
install it with the filename that Mozilla requires and change
myspell-sv-se.dictlistinfo to read 'DICT sv SE sv-SE'. That way you do
not need the links.
Thanks,
Chris
