Description of problem: Would it be possible to add the Polish dictionary to the distribution? aspell-pl available is far from being complete but it is still much better than nothing.
switching components so it gets considered
URL?
Original package is located in the usual place - see updated URL.
There is alternative (On March 10, 2004, this dictionary became the official Polish aspell dictionary.) aspell-pl (a lot better then old aspell-pl): http://www.kurnik.pl/dictionary/
It would be nice to add this package to Fedora Core 3. There is a lot of free space on 4th CD :-)
Well, I know that developers are rather busy and Fedora is trying to be a community project so I prepared a spec file :) I copied relevant bits from other aspel-XX packages and one line from Marcin Garski spec file. I have to add, that this package was available in RedHat 7.0, but it was removed from 7.1. I presume that it was license issue - in previous version of the dictionary author and copyright terms were unknown. As it was mentioned above, we have now new and much better dictionary, which is licensed under a Creative Commons ShareAlike License. On this site http://www.fsf.org/licenses/licenses.html#OtherWorks they urge "to include a copy of the license with the work, for every work, all the time", so I used %doc macro (the only thing which differs this package from other Fedora aspell-XX packages). Hmm... I have also doubts as to which README file should be included... Well, the choice is up to you :) And the last but not least thing, are these packages really architecture dependent? How about adding BuildArchitectures: noarch to the spec files (I found it in yum.spec)?

Appears to be fixed.
