Your script does make it easier for packages to automatically migrate to the current qwebengine_convert_dict location on Qt migrations. However, without a meta package or an unversioned package each Hunspell dictionary source package would need to update their build-depends. This may not be too big a deal as Qt doesn’t switch versions often. However, it seems to me that the ideal would be to have a stable build-depends package and even a stable binary execution path for those who either choose not to use the provided script or who cannot because they need to modify the files first to work around the current bugs with qwebengine_convert_dict not supporting certain valid input files. > $ /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".

For some reason I thought the documentation said to use the .aff file, but I see now that it was just working around my not using it idiomatically. -- Soren Stoutner soren@stoutner.com
