[MIR] gspell

[Jeremy Bícha]

[Availability]
Synced with Debian and it's intended for this to stay in sync. Built for all supported architectures.
(As of today, it's still in proposed because it requires GTK 3.20)

[Rationale]
Required for spell-check to work in gedit 3.20+.

[Security]
No known security issues (it's a fairly new package)

gedit doesn't seem to have anything relevant either:

[Quality assurance]
- Please subscribe Ubuntu Desktop Bugs to this package.
- No open bugs in Debian or Ubuntu

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gspell
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A"gspell"

- Upstream tests are not currently being run during the build because they require dbus which is more complicated to set up.
No autopkgtest

[Background information]
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gspell

gspell is gedit 3.18's spell checker split off to its own library so it can be used by other gtk apps.

Tests are disabled, for not much of a reason? Says it needs a dbus session. And testing, it also seems to need X.

So running "xvfb-run make check" seems to do the trick. Can we re-enable tests (and pass the fix on to Debian).

Looks fine besides.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Sure the tests run fine locally, but they are failing both on the LP builder and at autopkgtest.ubuntu.com:

I don't know how to fix this.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

As recommend by seb128, I tried

env -u LD_PRELOAD dbus-run-session -- make check || ( cat test-suite.log ; exit 1 )

but that fails too.

(I used a preceding hyphen in my override_dh_auto_test so the test failure wouldn't fail the build).

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Adding at-spi2-core to the build-deps should fix it. That's what the error was -- couldn't find org.a11y.Bus as an installed service.

I tested in a PPA, seemed to work.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Thank you. The tests work now, both at build time and as autopkgtest:
