Also, either having qwebengine_convert_dict being installed in an unversioned location or having a symlink that is unversioned? That would make it easier for Hunspell language packages to build-depend on qwebengine_convert_dict and wouldn’t require reworking all of those packages’ build scripts every time the version of Qt in Debian changes.
I modified installdeb-myspell to look for both, with qt6 version
preferred. In policy document, I commented about qt5 version
existence, but discouraging its use as it will disappear sooner. In
theory it could be useful for stable backports, but since .bdic sid
version should be usable unchanged in stable there is no real use for
it.
> Regarding qwebengine_convert_dict expecting the .dic as a file entry, I am not certain I understand what you are referring to. This is how it builds on my Debian testing system. The .dic file must be in the same directory as the .aff, but it isn’t specified (or at least doesn’t need to be specified) as a file entry.
$ /usr/lib/qt6/libexec/qwebengine_convert_dict
Usage: qwebengine_convert_dict <dic file> <bdic file>
Just put what usage note and associated example shows, it is supposed
to be more "stable". Noticed that qwebengine_convert_dict seems to
accept any of both (and look for the other). In theory, a dic file may
have no associated aff file (and be a plain wordlist), but just
checked that even that requires an empty aff file.
