Hello, keep up the great work with Gentoo Linux. aspell-en has been available for a year and nobody has taken the work of updating the ebuild. Here is my proposal. It sets the right SRC_URI and working directory. I was unable to see the Spanish dictionary in my aspell installation because I had app-dicts/aspell-es-0.50.2 in my system. Then I installed from this ebuild and now I can spell-check in Spanish. --- aspell-es-0.50.2.ebuild 2009-10-18 15:37:05.000000000 -0500 +++ aspell-es-1.9a.ebuild 2009-11-04 09:51:26.962024754 -0500 @@ -3,8 +3,12 @@ # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-dicts/aspell-es/aspell-es-0.50.2.ebuild,v 1.9 2009/10/18 20:18:03 halcy0n Exp $ ASPELL_LANG="Spanish" +ASPOSTFIX="6" inherit aspell-dict +MY_P="${P/aspell/aspell${ASPOSTFIX}}-1" +S="${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}" +SRC_URI="mirror://gnu/aspell/dict/${SPELLANG}/${MY_P}.tar.bz2" LICENSE="GPL-2"
Created attachment 209220 [details] Ebuild Ebuild for testing and comment. Thanks for your suggestions.
The ebuild works for me. It would be good to add it to the tree, since aspell-es-0.50.2 has some serious bugs. For example, emacs does not find the dictionaries. Also, there is a misspelling (!) in the name of one of the dictionary aliases.
Thank you Fabio and Johannes. New version is in the tree.
