[yast-devel] make spellcheck / y2tool pot-spellcheck
Hi, yast hackers In the light of bug #374628 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374628), just a quick reminder that there is a tool that might help you not only to fix the typos Benji has found, but also to locate some more misspelled words in your modules, or inconsistent spelling in the texts ( e.g. ipv6 vs. IPv6) Just run: 'make spellcheck' or 'y2tool pot-spellcheck' in the root directory of your module. It will list all misspelled words in the strings of your module and suggest suitable alternatives. It uses ispell (?) so it gets confused by or doesn't even know very technical words such as 'smb', 'umount', 'strace', but in general it deals with typos quite well. I've just found ~5 more not listed in the bug above in yast2-network ... Maybe I should use it to spellcheck on this e-mail, too ;-) :-D frozenB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter

Words 'smb', 'umount', 'strace', and some more have been just added to YaST dictionary: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/devtools/devtools/data/YaST2.dict.txt (make install) Bye Lukas
