GPL -> depends on generic GPL "mere aggregation" review.

reset target - will be set when #i65039# will be solved.

So why did Sun employees, based on internal discussions that the Italian
community is not aware of, open a specific issue for this? It even had the same
assignee, so I frankly doubt they were not aware this is part of issue 65039
(and I agree with pjanik it is).

No problem, but next time you "discuss during the Program Management meeting and
via mail" on this kind of topics, we would appreciate if you disclosed a bit
more, so that we can understand better and be more helpful.

the review of a single GPL component and the discussion about the general
aggregation of GPL'd dictionaries are (maybe unfortunatly) different (but of
course related) items I deal with. For this reason I remove dependency to 65039. 

The good news is that I can now start this request and expect progress soon on
#65039.

approved.

separate packaging of the GPL'd dictionaries should be done to make clear that
we are doing aggregation here and that there is no dependency of other code.

mh: you mean separate package - like new rpm or new deb?

If so, I won't do the work myself.

i think there is a lot of work to make this properly...

Has legal review for the below started?

@coni, see above has been approved a while ago.
@pavel, I propose to proceed as with the other dictionaries for 2.4, for 3.0 we
then will move dictionaries to separate packages.

mh: to clarify: OK to include this GNU GPL based dictionary into dictionaries/... as all other languages are 
included, right?

@pavel: yes

OK.

Please include direct links to thesaurus and other dict here, so I do not need to learn Italian, please ;-)

Thank you.

Hey ... Italian is a wonderful language! :-)

You can find link here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries#Italian_.28Italy.29

You need these two lines:
* Italian dictionary (dizionario italiano)
* Thesaurus OOo 2.x

Note that the Italian thesaurus and the dictionary can have several issues each
year.

Ciao

OK, so for spellchecker, I have changed these files in the CVS:

M README_it_IT.txt
M it_IT.aff
M it_IT.dic

For thesaurus, I added/changed these files (to match the conventions used in OOo):

? README_it_IT_thes.txt
? th_it_IT_v2.zip
M dictionary.lst
M makefile.mk

Please verify the changes in cws dictionariesfor24.

Changed dictionary.lst according to file names of thesaurus.

Verified in CWS dictionariesfor24.

Closing.
