Ispell is a fast screen-oriented spelling checker that shows you your errors in the context of the original file, and suggests possible corrections when it can figure them out. This package does not contain anything by itself - it is a "meta-package" that depends on other aspell packages. Its sole purpose is to require dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the ispell stuff (or what is set in PKG_OPTIONS.ispell-dictionaries) pulled in by the package dependency mechanism.
