Maybe we should re-base the hunspell-ar dictionaries on the dictionary released at the above URL. Seems the more active project, though I'm utterly ill-equipped to determine if it is better or not. I attach a sample patch to the .spec to do the conversion if desired. (an additional cvs delete buckwalter2unicode.py would also be indicated)
Created attachment 290767 [details] sample patch to .spec
I was convinced (by Khaled Hosny) that ayaspell is indeed better. For one's, it is much lighter, but also when considering accuracy. Too bad I'm committing this only for F-10. What d'ya say, should I try to push it to F-9, too, after it is released?
Totally your own decision :-), I just wanted to raise that there seemed to be a more active ar dictionary project around.
no doubt about that. I was asking because you are probably much more acquainted with the Fedora release process.
I vote for ayaspell for fedora 9
