[Bug 1510198] Re: Rebase/Reimplement Ubuntu changes upon Debian (possibly upstream them)

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your comments, Mattia.

I have considered it further, and created a new PPA, this time with lo-
dicts 1:5.1.0-1:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts4

This time I made use of the nifty debian/helper.py, and to start with I
made the version change which you already made in git.

As you suggested I created a bunch of transitional packages. That
required that the Conficts fields in the corresponding hunspell-*
packages and the hyphen-no package were replaced with Breaks/Replaces. I
agree it's not necessary to make those changes in Debian, since they can
be dropped after xenial.

Please note that I made a transitional myspell-es package. The current
myspell-es includes a Conflict field to hunspell-es, so the packages do
conflict, even if there are no file conflicts.

I blacklisted hyphen-et for consistency reasons - hunspell-et is
blacklisted - and deleted debian/hyphen-et.install. You may want to
consider these changes for Debian. Otherwise, if someone installs
hyphen-et, myspell-et gets deleted, and they have no access to a
spellchecker.

As regards openoffice.org-hyphenation, I think you are right: The
Conflicts/Replaces fields I first suggested would be unnecessary.

** Summary changed:

- Rebase/Reimplement Ubuntu changes upon Debian (possibly upstream them)
+ [FFe] Sync (almost) with libreoffice-dictionaries in Debian sid

** Description changed:

- libreoffice-dictionaries hasnt been synced from Debian for a while and
- has Ubuntu-local change. Rebase/Reimplement those on Debian and upstream
- those, if possible.
+ Proposed uploads are available in this PPA:
+ https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts4
+ 
+ This proposal gives us updated dictionaries in xenial, and quite a few
+ new ones. libreoffice-dictionaries in Ubuntu was introduced before the
+ release of trusty, but hasn't been maintained since. This proposal
+ should make it possible to really sync with Debian after the xenial
+ release.

  (libreoffice-dictionaries was created rather ad-hoc around 4.2 before
  Debian did, replacing the old openoffice-dictionaries, thus the missing
  updates since).
