For an installer of a dictionary, e.g.

    .../aspell6-windows/aspell6-af-0.50-0.exe

* The '6' in 'aspell6' stands for dictonary format '6'.
* The '-af-' stands for the language
* The '0.50-0' stands for the version of the dictionary.

Correct?

Correct.

How will we deal with old versions of dictionary (installers)?

When a new dictionary comes along, we'll eventually catch up and produce a corresponding dictonary installer. Then we'll eventually make an updated LyX installer, that'll refer to the new dictionary installer. However, the old LyX installers will still refer to the old dictionary installer, so in order to not break those we need keep the old dictionary installers around.

Correct?

Correct.

We could, some time in the future, make the LyX installer be smarter about which version of the LyX installer it should install. Or is it already so smart that it downloads a list of the available dictionaries to install?

Softlinks on the FTP server to the most recent versions will do. Like aspell6-en-latest.exe.
