[Agustin Martin] > #416572: ibritish: Should not have priority standard We now have aspell, myspell and hunspell as alternatives to ispell, and it can be argued that all of them are better than ispell at providing spell checking and recommendations for replacements. Because of this, I believe it would be a good idea to drop ispell from the list of standard packages, and the related packages too (i*, w*). If we were to keep a spell checker as part of the default installation, I would suggest using hunspell as it is most advanced and I am told it support the most languages at the moment. The next step would be to change all programs currently using ispell, aspell and myspell by default to use hunspell instead. The only package I use that are still using ispell is emacs. No idea how hard it would be to update, but it would be a good thing to support for example Hungarian and Nothern Sami spell checking in emacs. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
