Please let me know if you need help creating a hunspell-format dictionary from Hspell (it shouldn't be difficult - basically "make hunspell" should do it). OpenOffice loads the hunspell-format dictionary (with so-called "double affix compression") *much* faster than it does the old myspell format, which fixes the old lockup-for-many-seconds-while-loading-the-hebrew- dictionary bug (see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66939). So it is actually important that you use the hunspell target, not the myspell target, in your packages. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Nov 2 2010, 25 Heshvan 5771 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |A facility for quotation covers the http://nadav.harel.org.il |absence of original thought. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
