- myspell-pt-br for Debian
- ------------------------
-
- myspell-pt-br
- -------------
-
- myspell-pt-br used to be generated from the br.ispell source package. It is
- now obtained from the sources distributed by the BrOffice.org team.
- According to the BrOffice.org people, their dictionary is more complete and
- up-to-date as regards the one distributed in br.ispell (2.8M of words for
- the former instead of 250k for the later).
-
- The ustream authors provide three different tarballs:
-
- * Complete version: pt_BR-*-*-*C.zip
- * Light version: pt_BR-*-*-*L.zip
- * Ideal versião: pt_BR-*-*-*V.zip
-
- The last tarball is not recommended for OpenOffice.org. The Debian package
- corresponds to the "complete version".
-
- Debian myspell-pt-br is already integrated into OpenOffice.org and should
- work out-of-the-box with it, no need of special actions. README_pt_BR-OOO2x.TXT
- is included only for completion.
-
- aspell-pt-br
- ------------
-
- aspell-pt-br used to be a stand-alone package, but currently is also
- generated from this package with some minor tweak. As a matter of fact,
- that is what upstream does (with similar tweaks) when releasing official
- aspell6-pt-br dictionaries. br-abnt2.kbd and pt_BR.dat were borrowed from
- aspell-pt-br and put in debian/aspell-files.
-
- From upstream README.aspell.txt
-
- The Brazilian Portuguese dictionary for Aspell is a version of the
- OpenOffice.org one. The idea is to avoid forking or duplicate efforts.
- Previously (previously to Aspell 6) the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary for
- Aspell was derived from the Ispell counterpart, but that project is long
- unmaintained. Please visit the spell checking project page at the BrOffice.org
- (Brazilian Portuguese OpenOffice.org) site if you want to report a missing
- word, a misspelled word, or if you are looking for further information on
- credits and new versions:
