Makes sense; I've changed the spell script for ispell-3.1.20-23, which will be in the next RawHide. Thanks! |
A traditional spell command will spellcheck one or more files given on the command line (or stdin if there are no files given on the command line), and misspelled words will only be given once. The 'spell' script included in the ispell RPM will only spellcheck standard input and will repeat misspelled words as many times as they occur in the input. Reproduction: $ echo This spel command is awful at catchng spel mistakes >/tmp/spelltest $ spell </dev/null /tmp/spelltest [no output] $ spell </tmp/spelltest spel catchng spel The simple fix appears to be to replace spell with the following shell script: #!/bin/sh cat "$@" | ispell -l | sort -u (This bug report is applicable to RedHat 6.1 unless the behavior of 'ispell -l' has changed, which the manpage claims it has not.) There is also no manpage for the spell command.
