Dear Guixers,
I was packaging an Italian dictionary for Hunspell, when I found this
link listing all the Hunspell dictionaries supported by Libreoffice [0].
This lead me to think about a function for defining dictionary packages
(very much based on aspell-dictionary from (gnu packages aspell)).
(define* (hunspell-dictionary dict-name full-name #:key home-page license)
(package
(name (string-append
"hunspell-dict-"
;; Downcase and replace underscore in package names
;; to follow Guix naming conventions.
(string-map (match-lambda
(#\_ #\-)
(chr chr))
(string-downcase dict-name))))
(version (package-version libreoffice))
(source
(origin
(method git-fetch)
(uri (git-reference
(url (string-append "https://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/";
"libreoffice/dictionaries.git/"))
(commit
(string-append "libreoffice-" version))))
(file-name (git-file-name "libreoffice-dictionaries" version))
(sha256
(base32 "0vvxnjpm1322ahf9q8bqs1yhkn7krglw8c6yazcf7a3jljykd9k9"))))
(build-system gnu-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:phases
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(delete 'configure)
(delete 'build)
(replace 'install ;no install target
(lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
(let* ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))
(hunspell (string-append out "/share/hunspell/"))
(myspell (string-append out "/share/myspell")))
(for-each
(lambda (ext)
(install-file (string-append ,dict-name "/" ,dict-name ext)
hunspell))
'(".aff" ".dic"))
(symlink hunspell myspell)
#t))))
#:tests? #f)) ; no tests
(synopsis
(string-append "Hunspell dictionary for " full-name " (" dict-name ")"))
(description "This package provides a dictionary for the Hunspell
spell-checking library.")
(license license)
(home-page home-page)))
Do you think it would be worth to add it to (gnu packages libreoffice)
to define dictionaries?
Cheers,
Giacomo
