I would like to invoke the EOL process for perl-Text-Aspell in Rawhide. I will continue to maintain it in Fedora through the F-15 lifecycle, and in EPEL through the EPEL 6 lifecycle. The package is already semi-crippled in EPEL 6, since only the aspell-en and aspell-sk dictionaries are available in RHEL 6.
The packages that depend on perl-Text-Aspell in Rawhide are: acheck moodle xinha
The packages that depend on perl-Text-Aspell in EPEL 6 are: moodle
These packages should be migrated to perl-Text-Hunspell. I will wait 1 week before retiring perl-Text-Aspell in Rawhide to give the maintainers of these packages a chance to decide what to do. If one of you would like to take over maintenance, I will orphan the package instead of retiring it.
Regards,

Hi, moodle maintainer.
I just took a quick look through 2.0.2, and I don't see where the limited Perl present uses perl-text-aspell, so it may just be a hard-coded Requires that I can drop. Can someone with stronger Perl-Fu take a gander and confirm this for me, please?

Agreed. It looks like moodle is invoking aspell directly, rather than via perl-Text-Aspell. Somewhat ironically, I created the perl-Text-Aspell package in the first place because it was embedded in the moodle sources, and I was the moodle maintainer at the time (some 4 years ago).
You may want to look at changing moodle to use hunspell anyway, due to the limited number of aspell dictionaries available in RHEL 6.

Yeah, aspell needs to die, everything in Fedora has been supposed to use Hunspell since Fedora 9: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary
