Hello everyone,

I am new here, so I'm sorry in advance for any stupid thing I may say. I
want to adopt hunspell for various reasons and what I've noticed is a
plethora of app-dicts/myspell-* packages (for each language there's one).

I suggest merging them into one big myspell-dicts package, which will
certainly reduce maintenance burden (the similar thing is done with libreoffice-l10n, I think).

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about my proposal

My only real question is why they're split in the first place and
if there's some good reason for that. I've no idea.

I think you sent this email a few days ago, fwiw, see https://marc.info/?l=gentoo-dev&m=168872367517846&w=2.

I'd maybe ask on IRC at #gentoo-dev-help & #gentoo-proxy-maint,
as well, where we're focused on helping new contributors.

I'd feel a bit better about the merge, I suppose, if I knew
someone had checked git history and see if anyone suggested
it before on Bugzilla and such.

Anyway, it doesn't sound like a crazy idea prima facie.

best,
sam

I would guess that they are different packages because they all have a different SRC_URI. Many to some libreoffice assets download location,
but not all.
Maybe they could all come from the same source in an updated packaging
though, I don't know the background.

These are different packages because they have different upstreams,
versioning schemes, and release cycles. Since we tend to follow
upstream packaging, I'm not sure if combining them would make sense.

I'm also not sure if it would reduce maintenance burden. I maintain app-i18n/man-pages-l10n, which gets way more frequent releases than the formerly separate man-pages-* packages, with each version bump requiring
build and test for all supported languages instead of just one.

Hey,

it would be better than the current situation for sure, but my
impression with myspell* packages is that they all have different
version releases and different upstream source uris, so just wondering
can it be done with a single package? In theory it'd be an improvement
though if there is a single upstream holding all language options.

The latter isn't the case. I count 24 app-dicts/myspell-* packages with
SRC_URI pointing to libreoffice.org, and 26 packages pointing elsewhere.
