[ why did you drop the bug from the Cc? So that it does NOT get recorded

OK.

Sorry, that dictionary extension madness is of no interest to me. We don't
pack them (yet)[1]. In fact, I would really prefer that those patterns
get built from the source (aka TeX).

OOo is not the only user of those patterns (same as the dicts),
so we don't just make them available for OOo but also for other stuff.

Anyway, I can sync them as "normal" files, yes....

Understandable.

Will have a look at the details - we are short before the freeze, so...

No, it's not, it packages the sh file which you yourself said is in the
directory. That doesn't make it obsolete.

That gets fixed for 3.3 afaik. (Though maybe only for the UI? Not sure.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh says

"the deprecated ISO 639-1 code for Serbo-Croatian"

which in turn says:
"Since the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Bosnian and Montenegrin have likewise been established as official standards, making Serbo-Croatian a pluricentric language. However, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, "Croatian", "Bosnian", and "Serbian" are considered to be three names for a single official language.[6]  All four standards are based on the same dialect, which had also served as a semi-unified Serbo-Croatian standard for an official language of Yugoslavia from 1954 to 1990. Thus the term Serbo-Croatian is used both as an inclusive term for the four national standards and associated dialects such as Kajkavian, Čakavian, and Torlakian; for the old official standard of Yugoslavia; and as a common term for the language prior to the establishment of Yugoslavia."

But OK.

Will get - at least partly - fixed in OOo 3.3 (though not sure which
areas it will affect: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=111003)

Know that, thanks

Will think of it.

[1] OOo 3.3 does not need the dicts/patterns hidden in the oxt zip but they
can be unpacked and thus be shared...
