[Bug 66878] Re: Spellchecking impossible for most languages
The same applies, as far as I can tell, in Jaunty. Given that the default configuration of Vim in Ubuntu (or Debian) is far from flexible (it's impossible to avoid loading the debianized configuration unless you edit /etc/vim/vimrc), building Vim myself starts to be tempting... Anyway, no matter what with the default config, spell files are needed and they should be included. -- Spellchecking impossible for most languages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is still an issue for me. I had to use the debian vim-spellfiles. Any advance in this issue?

It is possible that the configuration could be changed to use wget instead of ftp.

[Bug 66878] Re: Spellchecking impossible for most languages
Yes, vim's spell-checking it's pretty useless for non-english writing users. Especially because vim's automatic downloading of missing language files dosn't work out of the box. Vim uses 'ftp' to download them, which is neither a dependency of vim nor part of the default installation. - :setlocal spell spelllang=fr Cannot find spell file for "fr" in utf-8 Do you want me to try downloading it?

[Bug 66878] Re: Spellchecking impossible for most languages
I just want to add that the missing files make the vim-spelling feature useless for about 90% of mankind as most people do not use vim in english. This is not about blaming you, it is just frustrating that most distros donn't treat non-english users as first-class citizens. You wouldn't believe in how many issues you run in a nun-english Linux-system.

There already exist experimental Debian packages at http://packages.debian.org/experimental/source/vim-spellfiles I suppose they will be moved from experimental to unstable soon and will then be included in the release after Edgy (Feisty). -- Spellchecking impossible for most languages https://launchpad.net/bugs/66878 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
