When\nrun under dpkg control, do not try to set the\n'aspell-autobuildhash' trigger, but run real\nB code.

This applies both for plain wordlists and munched wordlists (in the ispell way)\nif you use affix compression.\n\nIf your package will provide a single hash, install prezipped+gzipped wordlist as\n/usr/share/aspell/$lang.cwl.gz or, if prezip is not used, as /usr/share/aspell/$lang.mwl.gz.\n\nIf your package will provide more than one aspell hash for the same $lang, you will need to\nplace each compressed wordlist as e.g. /usr/share/aspell/$subdict.cwl.gz, and the common\n$lang.compat as above. Then create a /usr/share/aspell/$lang.contents file with the base\nnames of the subdicts, one in a line. For English that will contain, amongst other possible\nlines\n\nen-common\nen-variant0\nen-variant1\nen-variant2\nenCA-waccents-only\n\nNo need to use this file if a single hash is being created.\n\nDictionaries-common scripts will call internally this script and create a single hash file at\n/var/lib/ispell/$lang.rws, or hash files at /var/lib/ispell/$subdict.rws. You must set a\nsymlink to that files from /usr/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /usr/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws as\nappropriate.\n\nAspell dictionary packages using this script must make sure that $lang.compat is reset on\nevery new install/upgrade, so hash is rebuilt. They must also make sure that $lang.compat\nand all of /var/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /var/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws are removed on package\nremoval.\n\nAs of version 1.10, installdeb-aspell script will understand 'auto-compat' and\n'auto-contents' fields in $dict.info-aspell file to help with this by adding needed debhelper\nsnippets. Put in that entry the base name(s) of your compat and contents file(s) and\ncarefully check resulting maintainer scripts after build.\n\nNote that you are no longer suggested to ship empty files at any of\n/var/lib/aspell/$lang.compat, /var/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /var/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws, but\nexplicitly create/update them on install and explicitly remove them on removal.\n\naspell maintainer should also call this script from package postinst. When comparing\nversions it will get the aspell version from file /usr/share/aspell/aspell.compat.\n", "subsections": [] }, "AUTHORS": { "content": "Agustin Martin \n", "subsections": [] }, "COPYRIGHT": { "content": "Copyright (C) 2004-2013 Agustin Martin \n\nThis program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of\nthe GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3\nof the License, or (at your option) any later version.\n\n\n\n1.28.14 2021-12-02 ASPELL-AUTOBUILDHASH(8)", "subsections": [] } }, "summary": "aspell-autobuildhash - Autobuilding aspell hash files for some dicts", "flags": [], "examples": [], "see_also": [] }
