Description Ian Laurie 2021-12-13 08:16:00 UTC
Description of problem:
The gspell plugin is in the source rpm but for some reason doesn't seem to be in the binary rpm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mousepad-0.5.8-1.fc35.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run mousepad after installing gspell and libmousepad0.
2.
3.

Actual results:
The spell check plugin seems to be missing, even if gspell and libmousepad0 are installed.

Expected results:
The spell check plugin is visible and working with 0.5.8 in Debian Testing currently.

Comment 1 Salil Wadnerkar 2022-01-06 23:19:06 UTC
One more hint to what could be the problem. It seems like nousepad is compiled without any plugin support. This is the console message I see:
```
Mousepad-Message: 15:15:11.444: Plugin directory '/usr/lib64/mousepad/plugins' not found
```
Manually creating this directory does not help recognize presence of gspell.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2022-01-07 21:09:40 UTC
Yes, it's not being built currently. 

I suppose we could enable it. It does mean that mousepad will pull in gspell and thus be 'larger'. We could make a mousepad-plugins subpackage and only install it with that... but then few people might even realize it's there. :( 

Here's a scratch build with it enabled: 
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=80968689

What do my co-maintainers think here? Should we just enable it and keep the plugin in the main package, enable it, but make a plugins subpackage, or just leave it off?

Comment 3 Ian Laurie 2022-01-07 21:52:36 UTC
Well whatever you decide to do, the scratch build works well, thanks for that.

For what drive space costs these days, my two cents would be to either include it in the main package (preferable and easier) or have a plugings package available for those who want it (and know about it).

Comment 4 Mukundan Ragavan 2022-01-08 00:10:24 UTC
Nah, let's not bother with the subpackage. I suspect gpsell is something most desktops will probably carry anyway.

I will rebuild with spell support.

I confirm that I got the update from the rawhide repo, and I can use the spellcheck plugin in mousepad now. So, we can close this bug.
