Re: aspell 0.60.6.1-1 does not install any dictionaries by default (RE: git gui 1.7.9-1: "spell checking is unavailable" error message)


From: Andrey Repin

> So it seems like the options are:

1. Change git-gui and other "aspell" based applications to suppress their
error message when the "default" dictionary is specified and no dictionary
is present.

Specified where?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The "git-gui" program is just telling "aspell" to use the default "aspell" dictionary. It's then up to "aspell" to decide what the default dictionary is.


The relevant "git-gui" code appears to be here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/git-gui.git/blob/HEAD:/git-gui.sh#l3913

If it's a configuration in aspell, and Git-GUI merely asking for default
behavior, then again, Git-GUI should check, if the module can work at all,
before trying to use it and throw errors at the user.

OK, I can suggest that to the Git maintainers.
