Package: hunspell-sv Version: 1.51-3 Severity: wishlist The hunspell-sv package in Debian ships version 1.51 of the Swedish dictionary, while upstream (SFOL / Den Stora Fria Ordlistan) has been at version 2.42 for some time. Additionally, we have significantly expanded the dictionary with words from two academic sources: - SALDO (Språkbanken, University of Gothenburg): +17,000 lemmas (CC-BY 3.0) - Folkets Lexikon (KTH): +900 curated words (CC-BY-SA 2.5) The new dictionary contains 269,221 base words (up from ~154,000 in 1.51 and ~251,000 in 2.42), making it comparable to commercial spell checkers. A Gerrit patch for the LibreOffice dictionaries repository (which Debian uses as upstream) is available: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/dictionaries/+/202383 The updated dictionary is also available on GitHub: https://github.com/yeager/hunspell-sv Would it be possible to update the package to the latest upstream? Thank you, Daniel Nylander
