- dictionaries-common and dictionaries-common-dev for Debian
- ==========================================================
-
- This packages contain the common support structure implementing the policy
- proposal for ispell dictionaries and wordlists. For more information please
- see
-
- http://dict-common.alioth.debian.org/
- http://alioth.debian.org/projects/dict-common
-
- dictionaries-common
- -------------------
-
- This is the basic package. All ispell dictionaries and wordlists must
- pre-depend on it. It provides the common structure for the use of the
- system. These are some commands of interest for the superuser or for
- normal users. For more details or developers information, please see
- the dictionaries-common-dev package.
-
- select-default-ispell:
- select-default-wordlist:
-
- (root only)
- Although at installation time the system administrator has been asked (if
- there is more that one dictionary or wordlist installed in the system)
- which one will be the system default, these commands allow changing the
- default value for ispell dictionary or wordlist at any time.
-
- ispell-wrapper:
-
- The system provides a wrapper to ispell (named ispell-wrapper) with an
- enhanced command line interface that will take care of passing to ispell
- the appropriate options for a language.
-
- This command will accept all the ispell options plus -L <language>, where
- language must correspond to one of the languages installed in the system
- (Perl regular expressions will be probably available here, such that
- calling ispell-wrapper -L ".*brasil.*" will select
- "PortuguΩs Brasileiro").
-
- select-default-iwrap:
-
- This is an interactive selection script for selecting the user-specific
- default ispell dictionary for ispell-wrapper. The result will be placed
- in ~/.default-ispell.
-
- The system wide default value for ispell-wrapper will be the globally
- selected one at installation time or through select-default-ispell.
-
- dictionaries-common-dev
- -----------------------
-
- This is the package for developers. It contains the complete policy
- document, as well as debhelper like support scripts. Use of these is
- strongly recommended.
-
- The text of the policy is available at the documentation directory for this
- package as dsdt-policy.html or dsdt-policy.txt.gz
-
- Other notes regarding these packages:
- =====================================
-
- ispell dicts and wordlists naming and availability
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- Note that you will find two types of dictionaries :
-
- * dictionaries for ispell spellchecker, whose package names are of the
- form i<language>, e.g. iamerican (for ispell)
-
- * simple alphabetic lists of words, application-independent
- (also known as "wordlists") whose package names are mostly of the form
- w<language>, e.g. wspanish (with the exception of "miscfiles" that
- also provides a wordlist as well as some many other things)
-
- Since ispell dictionaries must provide 'ispell-dictionary' and
- wordlists 'wordlist', if you want to know a list of the available ispell
- dictionaries or wordlists please try
-
- $ apt-cache search --names-only ispell-dictionary
- $ apt-cache search --names-only wordlist
-
- Templates localization:
- -----------------------
-
- As of 0.9.5 templates handling has been migrated to po-debconf. It will
- store the templates in the preferred encoding and they will be shown in
- the user's encoding by means of libtext-iconv-perl if installed. Note
- that this sometimes need changing the LANG value from a thing like
- 'spanish' to something like 'es_ES'. Check if this is your case.
