Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-10-02 14:57:13 UTC
Spec URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/perl-Text-Aspell.spec
SRPM URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/perl-Text-Aspell-0.09-10.fc15.src.rpm
Koji Rawhide Scratch Build: 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3397158

Description: 
This module provides a Perl interface to the GNU Aspell library.  This
module is to meet the need of looking up many words, one at a time, in a
single session, such as spell-checking a document in memory.

Review Note: This package was retired in Fedora due to being orphaned. I am reviving it to resolve broken dependencies.

Git done (by process-git-requests).

f16 created, devel unretired, please take ownership in pkgdb.  Thanks!

Comment 9 Marcela Mašláňová 2011-10-14 09:36:13 UTC
I'm sorry, but this package was orphaned for a reason. Major applications are now using hunspell instead of aspell (feature from F-9). All packages dependent on perl-Text-Aspell should be fixed to do not use it.
You might didn't notice message on fedora-devel:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-April/150919.html

And last git commit in old repo says:
    Retired in favor of perl-Text-Hunspell.

I understood from the feature that applications would use hunspell but not that all other dictionaries would be removed from the distribution. Is this going to happen with OpenSSL once the Crypto Consolidation feature lands ?

I can't speak for Tom but I missed this. I was convinced that perl-Text-Aspell had been orphaned with devel or perl-devel being warned.

> And last git commit in old repo says:

This is extremely bad form.
We've had broken deps in the distribution since April because this package was retired prematurely. acheck should have first built without it as a dependency.

This is ridiculous. There are clearly still Fedora packages using aspell. Should we kick all tcl apps out of Fedora on the grounds that they should be ported to gtk? What about qt?

This package is functional. I am willing to maintain it. There are no legal concerns around it. Thus, it meets the criteria for inclusion.

Comment 12 Fedora Update System 2011-10-25 03:24:44 UTC
perl-Text-Aspell-0.09-11.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
