Updating dictionaries for OpenOffice 3.4.1

[Andrea Pescetti <pe...@apache.org>]

Updating dictionaries from the Extensions site to their latest version 
should probably be (or become) part of the standard pre-release actions, 
like updating localizations: it is a low-risk fix that fits with the 
concept of "maintenance releases".

Unfortunately, we haven't done that step for 3.4.1 yet. And I know final 
builds are starting soon, so we have little time (if any!).

An infrastructure fix that must be integrated for this is
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119229#c9
I verified it yesterday and I can commit it to AOO34 from my working 
copy. This will enable us to update dictionaries safely and will bring 
the Spanish dictionary up-to-date (due to this bug, we shipped an older 
version with 3.4.0).

Then I also have an updated Italian dictionary available, and possibly 
there are more; I could volunteer to look at the Extensions site and 
download the latest versions, but this depends on how much time we have.

Regards,
   Andrea.

OK, let's remember to put it in our schedule for next releases; or let's 
just agree to interpret the "translation deadline" as deadline for 
everything related to languages, including dictionaries.

There are two separate patches, both attached to the same issue:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119229
...And I now see in the SVN log that both have been applied. Perfect.

   Andrea.

In general I agree that we should test new versions of dictionaries and
should integrate them in the next upcoming release.

But we should do that in time and not in the last minute. I will
integrate the patch for the Spanish dictionary. But the build for 3.4.1
is planned to start short after this integration ...
