[aspell-devel] .cmap and .cset files for languages that share scripts

[Gora Mohanty]

 Hello,
  (This message is also being copied to the Debian maintainer of the
aspell dictionary packages for Indian languages, Soumyadip Modak.
Please include him on the Cc: line, as he is not subscribed to
aspell-devel.)
  For languages that share scripts, e.g., Hindi and Marathi that share the
Devanagari script, packagers of the standard aspell dictionary
distributions run into a problem because both dictionary distributions
would contain identical u-deva.{cmap,cset} files. However, if one of the
dictionaries is already installed, the second package reports problems
with conflicting files, and refuses to install unless things are forced. A
way around this would be to have separate u-deva-hi.txt and
u-deva-mr.txt files (from which the .cmap/.cset files are generated), in
the aspell-lang distributions. Of course, these files would be identical,
but that might not be much of an issue as they are a single line each.
Is that possible?

Regards,
Gora
