Stable for HPPA.

Just how many hours does that egrep phase take, anyway?  I got tired of waiting
around on sparc after 228 CPU-minutes or so on SB1000.  I could see that things
were happening, but very slowly.

Sparc stable.  I wonder why this package rebuilds the dictionary rather than just distributing it.  As far as I can tell, it generates the same dictionary on amd64 as on sparc, so I gather that the dictionary depends only on the package version?  (I ask because on my sparc SB1000 (1x900 + 1x750), this build spends over 4 CPU-HOURS(!) in the command 'egrep /'.)

alpha stable, closing

Ferris I have not investigated ispell deeply, but seems that is uses some binary format for its dictionaries and if dictionary was built with different version of ispell then installed, ispell will crash randomly. See info at the end of ispell installation:

 * If you just updated from an older version of ispell you *have* to re-emerge
 * all your dictionaries to avoid segmentation faults and other problems.

That why we have reemerge this dictionaries. Luckily more and more programs use myspell and that's the goal to make all programs use it.
