Description Kevin Kofler 2008-01-08 04:22:28 UTC
Description of problem:
The switchspell plugin in purple-plugin_pack reads its list of dictionaries 
from aspell. This is broken, because gtkspell in Rawhide is using enchant, not 
aspell.

While this specfile change:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/purple-plugin_pack/devel/purple-plugin_pack.spec?r1=1.2&r2=1.3
(which adds a BR aspell-devel) gets the plugin to build, it is still doing the 
wrong thing. Instead, the plugin needs to be patched to obtain its list of 
dictionaries from enchant instead.

Michael Schwendt fixed a similar issue in sylpheed with this patch:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/sylpheed/devel/sylpheed-2.4.8-enchant.patch?rev=1.2&view=markup

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
purple-plugin_pack-2.2.0-3.fc9

Here's a first-try patch. I've asked the Abiword people if it looks sane (since
I know next-to-nothing about enchant) but no response yet.

Dom says it looks fine, so...
