Hi,
Had little time last weeks, so I only wrote a minimal draft for the
message. I did some testing on the symlinks stuff at experimental and
seems to work well, so it will soon be time to try that in real life.
Here goes the draft, it is rather "light", but at least a minimal
starting point.
# ------------------------
Dear spellchecking dictionaries and wordlists maintainers,
There were some recent changes in the system that may be interesting
for your package, after initial work by Andreas Beckmann and Tobias
Frost. Read below some reasons to consider upgrading your package and
use some of the new features.
* aspell-simple:
This is new feature intended to make things easier for people
maintaining aspell dictionaries created from pristine aspell
sources (created with aspell "proc" utility, as are those fetched
from aspell home page) that create nothing else than the aspell
dictionary package.
In these cases, debian/rules can be made as compact as
# ===== 8< =====
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --with aspell
# this is not a GNU autoconf/automake build system
override_dh_auto_configure:
./configure
# ===== >8 =====
* substvars:
Added support for ${wordlist:Depends}, ${ispell:Depends},
${aspell:Depends} and ${hunspell:Depends} substvars.
* ispell/aspell autobuildhash symlinks:
Build structure and autobuildhash scripts have been changed to allow
those symlinks being no longer shipped with the package but created
by the ispell or aspell autobuildhash script.
A list of automatically created symlinks is put in a .remove list
to make sure they are removed from postrm. Dangling symlinks are
searched for and removed at the trigger run (this last may have been
enough, but having .remove files does not harm).
This way we no longer need to ship any dangling symlink with the
package.
