installdeb-aspell(1)
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 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
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.
