NAME

       installdeb-hunspell - debhelper-like utility for maintainers of  Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

        installdeb-hunspell [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

       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:

       •   Maintainer Scripts

           installdeb-hunspell installs the necessary scraps of code in the postinst and postrm scripts.

       •   Language info file

           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.

       •   Substvars substitutions

           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.

       •   Debconf files

           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.

OPTIONS

       The usual dephelper(1) options are accepted.

NOTES

       This program is not part of debhelper, although it is intended to be used in hunspell dictionary packages
       using debhelper in its building.
