These are different packages because they have different upstreams, versioning schemes, and release cycles. Since we tend to follow upstream packaging, I'm not sure if combining them would make sense. I'm also not sure if it would reduce maintenance burden. I maintain app-i18n/man-pages-l10n, which gets way more frequent releases than the formerly separate man-pages-* packages, with each version bump requiring build and test for all supported languages instead of just one.

I've no idea. I would guess that they are different packages because they all have a different SRC_URI. Many to some libreoffice assets download location, but not all. Maybe they could all come from the same source in an updated packaging though, I don't know the background. Mart

I'd maybe ask on IRC at #gentoo-dev-help & #gentoo-proxy-maint, as well, where we're focused on helping new contributors. I'd feel a bit better about the merge, I suppose, if I knew someone had checked git history and see if anyone suggested it before on Bugzilla and such. Anyway, it doesn't sound like a crazy idea prima facie. best, sam
[gentoo-dev] Possible merge of myspell/hunspell dictionaries
Hello everyone, I am new here, so I'm sorry in advance for any stupid thing I may say. I want to adopt hunspell for various reasons and what I've noticed is a plethora of app-dicts/myspell-* packages (for each language there's one). I suggest merging them into one big myspell-dicts package, which will certainly reduce maintenance burden (the similar thing is done with libreoffice-l10n, I think). Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about my proposal — Obligatory footer — BalkanMadman
