NAME
aspell-autobuildhash - Autobuilding aspell hash files for some dicts
SYNOPSIS
aspell-autobuildhash [--force]
Options:
--debug Show extra info about aspell-autobuildhash internal
work. Will also enable aspell affix validation.
--force Rebuild the hash file for all dicts providing a
compat file skipping the test.
DESCRIPTION
aspell-autobuildhash is a script that will manage aspell hash files autobuild, intended to
be called from the dictionaries-common tools. Depending on the aspell compatibility level
and on the compatibility level used for the hash file if present, will decide whether it
must be rebuilt or not. This script will only work on aspell packages prepared to use it,
it will do nothing for other aspell dict packages.
OPTIONS
--debug Show some extra information about aspell-autobuildhash
internal work. Will also enable aspell affix validation.
--force Rebuild the hash file for all dicts providing a compat
file regardless of the compatibility levels found.
PACKAGE MAINTAINERS
To use this system, just provide a $lang.compat file in /var/lib/aspell ($lang stands for
the lang basename with variant if any, e.g. gl-minimos or en). Put a "0" in it or just
create an empty one with touch.
Wordlists should previously be compressed either with gzip (and their extensions set as
.mwl.gz or .wl.gz) or preferably first with aspell prezip and then gzipped (with .cwl.gz
extension). This applies both for plain wordlists and munched wordlists (in the ispell
way) if you use affix compression.
If your package will provide a single hash, install prezipped+gzipped wordlist as
/usr/share/aspell/$lang.cwl.gz or, if prezip is not used, as
/usr/share/aspell/$lang.mwl.gz.
If your package will provide more than one aspell hash for the same $lang, you will need
to place each compressed wordlist as e.g. /usr/share/aspell/$subdict.cwl.gz, and the
common $lang.compat as above. Then create a /usr/share/aspell/$lang.contents file with the
base names of the subdicts, one in a line. For English that will contain, amongst other
possible lines
en-common
en-variant_0
en-variant_1
en-variant_2
en_CA-w_accents-only
No need to use this file if a single hash is being created.
Dictionaries-common scripts will call internally this script and create a single hash file
at /var/lib/ispell/$lang.rws, or hash files at /var/lib/ispell/$subdict.rws. You must set
a symlink to that files from /usr/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /usr/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws as
appropriate. You are also suggested to create empty files at /var/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or
for all of the /var/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws in the install target of your package build
process. This empty file will be overwritten when the real hash is created, but will make
the hash be removed at package removal without any magic being done in the postrm and will
also help to keep track about which package owns that file.
aspell maintainer should also call this script from package postinst. When comparing
versions it will get the aspell version from file /usr/share/aspell/aspell.compat.
