Description Realname 2016-08-18 12:59:54 UTC
I have my system's locales in spanish with my desktop in spanish, apps in spanish... everything working perfectly, but noticed time ago that Hunspell always installed app-dicts/myspell-en so I edited the ebuild just to remove a line that reads:
PDEPEND="app-dicts/myspell-en"
Then rebuild its manifest, and problem solved; no more annoying installations.

Do you think it-s necessary to keep that dependency in the ebuild, couldn't it be removed so the user only gets installed what they really need? I can't state that my experience is an absolute truth, but after more than a year with Hunspell, with only the languages I need, I haven seen no dictionary/orthography related issue. Wouldn't it be better to remove that dependency from the ebuild in Portage?


Regards.

myspell-en should be installed if no other language is selected. Make it so the user can override and not make the large part of users add yet more cruft to the make.conf
