== Summary ==
Update Hunspell Dictionary system directory from /usr/share/myspell/
to /usr/share/hunspell/

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:vishalvvr| Vishal Vijayraghavan]]
* Email: <vishal...@fedoraproject.org>


== Detailed Description ==
In most of Linux distributions the standard Hunspell dictionary path
is `/usr/share/hunspell/` but in Fedora still has
`/usr/share/myspell/`. This effort is to follow default standard to
install all Hunspell dictionary into `/usr/share/hunspell/` instead of
`/usr/share/myspell/`.


== Benefit to Fedora ==
This will future proof Fedora to use the correct current location for
hunspell spelling dictionaries.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
In total there are `135` packages which is to be updated. libreoffice
& Firefox are the two main applications and rest are mostly language
dictionary packages.

* Other developers:

* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:


== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==


== How To Test ==
1. Check if default installed dictionary path is
`/usr/share/hunspell/` instead of `/usr/share/myspell/`

`$ hunspell -D` or `$ ls /usr/share/hunspell/`

2. Install any language dictionary and check if it getting installed
into '/usr/share/hunspell/'

`$ dnf install hunspell-hi`

`$ hunspell -D`


== User Experience ==
User should not notice any difference: their applications should
continue to work as expected after this directory migration.

== Dependencies ==


== Contingency Plan ==

* Contingency mechanism: revert release back to /usr/share/myspell
* Contingency deadline: Beta
* Blocks release? No
