Please make Fedora gtkspell support Enchant/Hunspell Even though industrial Enchant/Hunspell gtkspell support is only scheduled for gtkspell3, patches exist for previous versions. Waiting for gtkspell3 has a major drawback: gtkspell apps use aspell dicts and OO.o/Firefox use hunspell dicts aspell and hunspell dicts are not synchronized to spellchecking behaviour is different from app to app when both exist sometimes only hunspell dicts exist end result is confused users Moreover the people who could fix the dicts just look at the number of variants (ispell/aspell/hunspell) they're supposed to maintain and just give up (or decide to do only hunspell) The problems of using an early gtkspell3 or a gtkspell2 patched for enchant are dwarfed by the benefits of killing the aspell/hunspell dict duplication
Nicolas, can you point me to the patches for gtkspell2 ?
They're on the enchant page gtkspell -> enchant -> hunspell
I guess at this point, this is no longer an F8 target...
Here is the link to the patch. Just for clarity this seems to make gtkspell use Enchant which in turn can use hunspell (amongst other checkers) http://www.abisource.com/~dom/gtkspell-2.0.11-enchant.patch
Fixed in gtkspell-2.0.11-5.fc9.
