description
The hunspell -fr 7.0 source files included with Fedora provides 3 spelling alternatives.
-
classique
-
réforme1990

toutesvariantes
However Fedora only actually installs the toutesvariantes variant and creates a symlink to all the French locales: fr_FR, fr_CA, fr_BE etc. You are not given the choice to use exclusively the 'classique' or 'réforme1990' spelling.
This version of hunspell-fr installs all 3 spelling variants and incorporates the altenatives utility allowing the user to not only select between the variants but also select a diffrent spelling variant for each French language locale.
