Hello folks, 

I just wanted to let you know that there has been a new release (1.3.2)
of ispell-lt this weekend. You can download the release files from
https://github.com/ispell-lt/ispell-lt/releases (GitHub is the new
project home, as is properly stated in the previous home at
https://launchpad.net/ispell-lt). 

Python3 support has been added to this release, as well as a lot of
other changes of various significance. 

Since I'm here, I also want to talk about the hunspell-lt Debian
package. Like numerous other hunspell-* packages, it is built from
LibreOffice sources, but LibreOffice is a downstream user of projects
like ours (they aren't pretending it's otherwise, and it's clearly
visible when visiting e.g.
https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries/tree/master/lt_LT). The
LibreOffice project does not maintain these dictionaries, they just
import them so it's easier to build their builds. I don't think it's a
good idea for Debian to ship downstream packages as if they were
upstream: IMO it may only cause confusion and useless duplication of
effort. Current hunspell-lt is actually myspell-lt, just taken from
elsewhere and renamed (also, it's a newer version because nobody
bothered to update (i|a|my)spell-lt packages in a decade). Should I file
a bug about this to src:libreoffice-dictionaries ? 

Cheers! 

Rimas Kudelis
