More exactly we need app-text/aspell-0.60.5 andd app-dicts/aspell-en-6.0.0, but I guess users will complain, if the other dictionaries won't go stable as well.
Is anyone looking at this, app-text/aspell-0.60.5 has been out since the beginning of March and the only bug in that time afaik is 178199 which should be a quick fix.
Hello? Is somebody of app-dicts team here?
Well time has moved on and the KDE herd are now looking at the stabilisation of KDE 3.5.7. We need this version stable for 3.5.7 too - is there any reason why this is not possible? Is there something we could do to help with this?
Is there any reason we cannot stabilise this version? It is a dependency for KDE 3.5.7 stabilisation and we would like to stabilise very soon but cannot afford to lose spell checking. I would appreciate some feedback if there would be issues in us asking for this version of aspell to be stabilised. Thanks.

It would be good to solve that but it is not a regression as far as I can tell, i.e. the new version is not doing anything wrong that isn't already broken. Therefore it would still be useful to stabilise the new version so that we can stabilise. I am not sure on the correct response to the other bug - I thought it was a design decision of the ebuilds that users should emerge the dictionary. Personally I am most interested in moving forward and getting the latest version of KDE stable as it has already been significantly delayed. If it is not a regression I don't think it should block us from stabilising. It would be good to hear what the maintainers think if any of them are around.
If Bug #178199 is not a regression, then this one shouldn't depend on that one, and should be fixed easily, don't you think, app-dicts?
app-dicts, come on, stabilize this, the bug was opened two months ago and there is no reason to not stabilize this. Maybe priority should be upgraded to P1.
Dear dictionary team, do we have to take this in our hands, shall we escalate in some way or what? Do you care to respond - finally!?
(In reply to comment #9) > Dear dictionary team, do we have to take this in our hands, shall we escalate in > some way or what? Do you care to respond - finally!? Carlo, I've spoken with the app-dicts team who have a very serious staffing problem. I've joined the herd and will try to sort out the issues blocking this bug ASAP. I don't see this as a blocker for our KDE stabilisation, though. Or did I miss something?
All issues have been resolved. Arch teams, please stabilise the following packages: app-text/aspell-0.60.5 app-dicts/aspell-en-6.0.0 app-dicts/aspell-et-0.1.21.1 app-dicts/aspell-he-1.0.0 app-dicts/aspell-sr-0.60 app-dicts/aspell-fi-0.7.0 app-dicts/aspell-vi-0.01.1.1 app-dicts/aspell-ca-0.60.20040130 app-dicts/aspell-cs-0.60.20040614 app-dicts/aspell-pl-6.0.20061121.0 app-dicts/aspell-uk-1.4.0.0 app-dicts/aspell-de-0.60_pre20030222 app-dicts/aspell-it-2.2.20050523 app-dicts/aspell-ru-0.99.1 All app-dicts/* are basically just text files so even though some haven't been in for the customary 30 days, their stabilisation shouldn't be a problem, so please do it. Plus, we'd like to have it stable for KDE 3.5.7. (see the blocked KDE bug) :-)

Marked stable on amd64. Thanks, Thomas!
All stable on sparc.
(In reply to comment #13) > Marked stable on amd64. Thanks, Thomas! dependency !=app-dicts/aspell-en-0.5* caused problems during emerge world. change to >=app-dicts/aspell-en-0.6 fixed it for me.
As would have a simple "emerge -C =app-dicts/aspell-en-0.5*". :-)
I have to admit I don't get what the blocking nets us? If we depend on > or >= it forces portage to upgrade before this package right? Isn't that better than forcing users to unmerge old packages? This seems to be something that is happening with more and more packages and where it can be avoided I think it should until portage begins to automatically unmerge and then merge the new version (if this is ever really necessary). If I am totally wrong I would love to know why - may be this belongs on -dev rather than here though? Back to finishing my thesis anyway.
stable on ppc
alpha/ia64/x86 stable
mips stable.
ppc64 stable
Stable for HPPA.
We're done here now. Thanks, guys!
