man installdeb-aspell (Commandes) - debhelper-like utility for maintainers of aspell dictionary Debian packages

NAME

installdeb-aspell - debhelper-like utility for maintainers of aspell dictionary Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

 installdeb-aspell [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

installdeb-aspell is a debhelper like program that is responsible for installing appropriate pspell pwli files (after generating them from the Language info file) and debhelper snippets in an aspell dictionary package, according to the Debian Spell Dictionaries and Tools Policy.

For more details, see /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/dsdt-policy.txt.

The actions executed by installdeb-aspell are the following:

Maintainer Scripts
installdeb-aspell installs the necessary scraps of code in the postinst and postrm scripts.
Language info file
installdeb-aspell also checks a file containing aspell dictionary information, called debian/info-aspell or debian/package.info-aspell. If this file is successfully parsed, it is installed in the [tmpdir]/var/lib/dictionaries-common directory.
Debconf files
As opposed to installdeb-ispell and installdeb-wordlist, installdeb-aspell does nothing related to debconf files, since aspell relies on the environment variable LANG for default dictionary selection instead of using symlinks set after a debconf question on dictionary installation. For that reason if you need to add debconf stuff with debhelper to your aspell dictionary package do it in the usual way and call dh_installdebconf(1) as for any other package.

OPTIONS

The usual dephelper(1) options are accepted.

NOTES

This program is not part of debhelper, although it is intended to be used in aspell dictionary packages using debhelper in its building.

SEE ALSO

debhelper(1)

This program is part of the dictionaries-common-dev package. It is intended to be used by maintainers of ispell dictionaries and wordlist packages for Debian. See the documentation under /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common-dev.
