Hi all, OpenOffice.org does support spelling check and hyphenation dictionaries for many languages. It's not possible to include them at build time anymore, since OO.org does require that they are the same copyright. To make the installation for the user as easy as possible, I'd like to make for each language a port. But this would mean another masterport with 20 slave ports. Size of the dicts is about 512K - 5MB, depending on the language. The format of the OpenOffice dicts is not the same as the one of Ispell. To convert a Ispell dict, you will have to convert it, which can last several hours as described on OO.org website. They call the format "Myspell". Also possible would be a big spelling dicts port/package -> ~20MB with all dicts included. That would mean for the user that he has many unneccessary data on his disk, and that the port would change frequently. I'm not absolutly sure what I should do. Both things have down/upside. The port(s) should do the following: - Install the data - Register the spelling dicts in dictionary.lst - Make necessary cross registering for hyphenation dictionaries - Unregister properly if deinstalled - Delete the installed data I've already prepared the masterport and like to have some answers before people beat me for spamming the cvs repo ! I also need a name for the dicts. What about - ports/editors/ooo-dicts - ports/editors/ooo-dicts-en_US - ports/french/ooo-dicts-fr_FR etc etc ? Thank you very much for your opinion !
