Sorry about that. I'm not that used to packaging. So I'm very grateful
that you tell me when I do things wrong.
So should I use i386 then?

Thank you for telling me what you think! I really appreciate it.
I think that what you are saying sounds very good.
But, I'm not really feeling at home in this area yet, so please tell me
more. Exactly what should every abispell package contain? Only the
dictionary hash-file (and possibly an icon), or is there something else
to?
I'm sorry for all the questions. But if you just tell me the answers, I
will do the leg work for you.
Take care

P.S.
Btw, how do you tell the abiword-rpm to be dependent on one of the
abispell rpms? Isn't dependency on another package based upon the name
of the package? (I'm just curious)
