[gentoo-dev] gnome-spell ebuild

[Jesse Dowell]

I've got an ebuild for gnome-spell that makes spell-checking in
evolution possible. The only problem is that it relies on pspell-ispell
which in turn relies on a masked version of pspell. If I unmask the
latest versions of pspell everything seems to build and work perfectly.
Does anyone know why pspell is masked?

I think the README is a little outdated. Gnome-spell seems to build and
work fine on my system without aspell. I think the pspell is the main
dependency that gnome-spell cares about and that it doesn't really care
which pspell module you use - whether it's aspell or ispell.

Hi!

pspell should not be masked anymore as I recently unmasked it.  The rest
of the *spells, have been masked for sometime for incompatiblities (
don't know why). and I haven't had a chance to fix them yet.

Note: gnome-spell depends on pspell _and_ aspell according to the
gnome-spell README.  I have been attempting to get the aspell-0.33.7.1
(+patches) ebuild updated, but unfortunately I have not got it to
successfully build yet.

Please see my previous post:

Of course, if you would like to help out and look into these issues,
your contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

Ok, why don't you jump over to bugs.gentoo.org and submit your
gnome-spell ebuild as an "enhancement" "EBUILD" bug.  Make this bug
block the bug #283. And assign it to me, tod@gentoo.org

I'll take a look at it and see if we can't get it commited to cvs.
