Description Alex Holden 2003-05-14 11:57:36 UTC

Hi, I just tried to upgrade to the latest aspell-en dictionary. In theory it
should have been as simple as "cd /usr/portage/app-dicts/aspell-en && cp
aspell-en-0.50.2.ebuild aspell-en-0.51.0.ebuild". In practice, it fails to
download the new dictionary tarball because the directory structure on
ftp.gnu.org has been moved around, and the directory to look for the
dictionaries is hard coded in aspell-dict.eclass. I think this will also break
the current ebuilds if the distfile mirrors are all uncontactable.

Previously the dictionaries were all in ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/
Now, they are split out into ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/??/ where ?? is
the two letter country code of the dictionary.
