myspell-pt-br for Debian
------------------------

myspell-pt-br sources
---------------------

Upstream currently provides hunspell-only dicts. Info below
refers to old myspell2 dictionary, used to generate aspell
dictionary. No myspell2 dict is generated.

myspell-pt-br used to be generated from the br.ispell source package. It is
now obtained from the sources distributed by the BrOffice.org team.
According to the BrOffice.org people, their dictionary is more complete and
up-to-date than the one distributed in br.ispell (2.8M of words for
the former instead of 250k for the later).

The upstream authors provided three different tarballs:

  * Complete version: pt_BR-*-*-*C.zip
  * Light version: pt_BR-*-*-*L.zip
  * Ideal versião: pt_BR-*-*-*V.zip

The last tarball is not recommended for OpenOffice.org.  The Debian package
corresponds to the "complete version".

aspell-pt-br
------------

aspell-pt-br used to be a stand-alone package, but currently is also
generated from this package with some minor tweak. As a matter of fact,
that is what upstream does (with similar tweaks) when releasing official
aspell6-pt-br dictionaries. br-abnt2.kbd and pt_BR.dat were borrowed from
aspell-pt-br and put in debian/aspell-files.
