Bug#473541: Make gnome-spell use Enchant instead of aspell
The problem with Finnish/Voikko is that once an instance of EnchantDict has been created from Voikko provider, it must be disposed before new one can be created. Since the inline spell checking in Evolution uses one instance and the spell checking dialog tries to create another without disposing the first, it will fail. To fix this, either libvoikko or Enchant Voikko provider must be improved to allow more than one simultaneous EnchantDict instance to be created. So there is nothing wrong with this patch to gnome-spell, the issue is elsewhere. I do not see any regressions compared to the original gnome-spell (languages supported by Aspell seem to work as before). Working inline spell checking for Finnish is a nice improvement, even if the separate dialog could not (yet) be used with Finnish.

Evolution 2.23 doesn't use gnome-spell anymore[0]. It uses a wrapper for Enchant[1] for all spell-checking needs. So once evolution 2.23 is uploaded, gnome-spell can be removed from the archive. Still, it would be nice to have gnome-spell use enchant for Lenny, has anyone had a chance to review the patch yet? 0. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522153 1. http://www.go-evolution.org/New_Composer#News -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi, I made a fixed package available at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-spell/gnome-spell_1.0.7-1.1.dsc Someone interested in looking at it or sponsoring? Some points: - Two patches using dpatch added, otherwise not touched (ie. old standards-version still etc.) - The first patch is the upstream patch rediff:d - The second patch is result of running aclocal/automake/autoconf to pick up the changes The fixed package works great for me, using Voikko via Enchant for Finnish spell-checking etc. -Timo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, gnome-spell was never subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so this bug report didn't reach the maintainers. I have subscribed the package now. I can't comment on the patch, but what you describe does sound like a good idea.

Bug#473541: Make gnome-spell use Enchant instead of aspell
I built http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-spell/gnome-spell_1.0.7-1.1.dsc on amd64 and can confirm that it almost makes spell checking work for Finnish in Evolution using Enchant Voikko provider. I tried with very long texts and found no other problems except that spelling suggestions seem to work only through the context menu in message editor, not in the spell checking dialog that opens when you choose "Edit" -> "Check Spelling...". But this problem does not occur for English, so it may be a bug or missing functionality in libenchant-voikko and not in this patch. I'll try to investigate this further. ... Now that I tried Hebrew with hspell provider, I found more problems. Some words seem to get underlined in the editor, but no spelling suggestions are available through the context menu and "Edit" -> "Check Spelling..." reports "No misspelled words found". I cannot actually read Hebrew so I'm not sure if the words that get underlined are real errors or not. But I do know that hspell should be capable of generating spelling suggestions (it does so in the experimental openoffice.org hspell extension I wrote a couple of months ago). Again, this could be a bug in Evolution or enchant hspell provider, but should probably be looked at by someone who actually knows Hebrew. In any case, I'd like to see this patch get applied for lenny too, so I'll try to find out where the bugs are, at least for Finnish/Voikko.

Package: gnome-spell Version: 1.0.7-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi, Please apply the following patch: http://www.abisource.com/%7Edom/gnome-spell-enchant.diff To make gnome-spell work with libenchant instead of the legacy aspell. Enchant is a program that supports multiple spell-checking libraries like hunspell, and provides support also for some languages that are not supportable by ispell/aspell/myspell/hunspell, via eg. Voikko library (already in Debian) for Finnish. The patch is already being used in eg. Fedora 9 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426347), and most importantly it would bring support for new languages in Evolution. The patch works for me, though it needs running autotools to pick up the new libenchant-dev dependency in configure.ac. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-spell depends on: ii aspell 0.60.5-2 GNU Aspell spell-checker ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaspell150.60.5-2 GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime l ii libatk1.0-01.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.22.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.22.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.14-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-42.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-01:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.1-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.22.0-2 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-02.20.1.1-1The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.22.0-2GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-02.12.9-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice62:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.12-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor11:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml22.6.31.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender11:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime gnome-spell recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
