[Dict-common-dev] New official ispell package in Debian

[Agustín Martín Domingo]

Hi all,

(David, I am CC'ing you, since I do not know whether you currently have 
time to follow this list. Let me know if you follow it, so I stop cc'ing)

David, I have seen the new ispell package in official Debian due to the 
non-free stuff in some minor sections of the ispell sources. We must 
update the packages at sourceforge to avoid clash with that one. I have 
prepared an updated package in case you cannot do it now and would like 
to upload it to sourceforge. Please let me know whether you find any 
inconvenience about that.

There is however a problem related to that. I am starting my summer 
holidays in a couple of days. So, although I tried to do a careful 
merging of the changes in my package, if any problem arises I will 
probably not be there, but if we do not do the ispell upload all our 
current ispell stuff at sourceforge will be blocked for people running 
unstable by the higher version package at official Debian. We would at 
least need to properly check the new package this week. Can some of you 
do that further check this week?

Also, what do you think about a transition process from the old system 
to the new one at the middle/end of september?

Please, let me know what do you think about this.

Cheers,

Agustin
