installdeb-hunspell - debhelper-like utility for maintainers of Debian packages
installdeb-hunspell [debhelper options]
installdeb-hunspell is a debhelper like program that is responsible for installing appropriate debhelper snippets in a package, according to the Debian Spell Dictionaries and Tools Policy.
For more details, see
/usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common-dev/dsdt-policy.txt.gz
The actions executed by installdeb-hunspell are the following:
installdeb-hunspell installs the necessary scraps of code in the postinst and postrm scripts.
installdeb-hunspell also checks a file containing
information, called debian/info-hunspell or
debian/package.info-hunspell. If this file is successfully
parsed, it is installed in the
/var/lib/dictionaries-common/hunspell directory.
This script will populate a substvars file, so Depends line in control file can contain ${hunspell:Depends} to automatically care for dictionaries-common dependencies.
This requires "Build-Depends" on at least dictionaries-common-dev 1.23.0 and is highly recommended.
As opposed to installdeb-ispell and installdeb-wordlist, neither installdeb-aspell nor installdeb-hunspell do anything related to debconf files, since both aspell and hunspell rely 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 or hunspell dictionary package do it in the usual way and call dh_installdebconf(1) as for any other package.
The usual dephelper(1) options are accepted.
This program is not part of debhelper, although it is intended to be used in hunspell dictionary packages using debhelper in its building.
