Hello folks, I just wanted to let you know that there has been a new release (1.3.2) of ispell-lt this weekend. You can download the release files from https://github.com/ispell-lt/ispell-lt/releases (GitHub is the new project home, as is properly stated in the previous home at https://launchpad.net/ispell-lt). Python3 support has been added to this release, as well as a lot of other changes of various significance. Since I'm here, I also want to talk about the hunspell-lt Debian package. Like numerous other hunspell-* packages, it is built from LibreOffice sources, but LibreOffice is a downstream user of projects like ours (they aren't pretending it's otherwise, and it's clearly visible when visiting e.g. https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries/tree/master/lt_LT). The LibreOffice project does not maintain these dictionaries, they just import them so it's easier to build their builds. I don't think it's a good idea for Debian to ship downstream packages as if they were upstream: IMO it may only cause confusion and useless duplication of effort. Current hunspell-lt is actually myspell-lt, just taken from elsewhere and renamed (also, it's a newer version because nobody bothered to update (i|a|my)spell-lt packages in a decade). Should I file a bug about this to src:libreoffice-dictionaries ? Cheers! Rimas Kudelis |
