hspell as dependency for enchant

Today, I installed enchant and hspell was installed with it as dependency. Why is that? Why do I need hebrew spell checker? Why it can't be just optional dependency? I looked through forum, there was plenty of similar question and one response refers to https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … dcdb8dc519 but that page just says "Bad commit reference: 1adfdbb2da14240e7aa5782be973ccdcdb8dc519". Does somebody remember the explanation mentioned there?

I know, that I could probably install enchant-pure from AUR, but do I really need to go that way?

Re: hspell as dependency for enchant

Thanks for the link, but it makes no sense to me. Is it really such a problem, that applications are complaining about missing libraries at stderr, and therefore making hspell as a required dependency? Couldn't be this fixed in enchant?

Re: hspell as dependency for enchant

What is the problem about having hspell as a dependency?
Its size?

Re: hspell as dependency for enchant

The principle. I don't mind the size at all. Does the hspell add some important functionality to enchant that it can't work without it?

Re: hspell as dependency for enchant

You can get rid of hspell by installing enchant-pure package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enchant-pure/).
The hspell is a faked dependency and the noted complaints in stderr are removed in enchant-pure.
