- Last updated: 2022-03-28
- devel thread
- FESCo issue: #2730
- Tracker bug: #2041930
- Release notes tracker: #789
Detailed Description
In most of Linux distributions the standard Hunspell dictionary path is /usr/share/hunspell/ but in Fedora still has /usr/share/myspell/. This effort is to follow default standard to install all Hunspell dictionary into /usr/share/hunspell/ instead of /usr/share/myspell/.
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
This will future proof Fedora to use the correct current location for hunspell spelling dictionaries.

- Update “install dir” from myspell/ to hunspell/
- PRs for enchant, enchant2, icecat, kde packages, libreoffice, firefox, seamonkey, thunderbird:
- Update dictionary usage path from myspell/ to hunspell/
- Test copr repo
- PR for Hunspell package
- Other developers:

- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with Objectives:
Upgrade/compatibility impact
How To Test
1. Check if default installed dictionary path is /usr/share/hunspell/
$ hunspell -D or $ ls /usr/share/hunspell/
2. Install any language dictionary and check if it getting installed into '/usr/share/hunspell/'
$ dnf install hunspell-hi
$ hunspell -D
3. Test spellchecking working in desktop apps for your language (eg Libreoffice, Firefox, Gedit, Evolution, Thunderbird, KDE, Emacs, etc)
4. Spellchecking on commandline: aspell, hunspell, nuspell
User Experience
User should not notice any difference: their applications should continue to work as expected after this directory migration.
Dependencies
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: revert release back to /usr/share/myspell
- Contingency deadline: Beta
- Blocks release? No
