Re: How to remove a word from the dictionary.txt we are using in the CI/CD pipeline.

Hi Aditya,

I don't run these CI checks, but I think the checkpatch script in CI
is using https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell as the
dictionary provider. So, one possibility is suggesting to that project
that deque is a valid word which should be supported in software
projects. Then, the person who maintains this check would have to
update their codespell repo. I haven't tried submitting such a change
to this project before, but it looks like they have some open PRs for
word policy suggestions like yours:
https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell/pull/2812

It looks like the first and fourth from this list would need to become
valid uses?

./codespell_lib/data/dictionary_code.txt:deque->dequeue
./codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:dequed->dequeued
./codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:dequeing->dequeuing
./codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:deques->dequeues

Ali, are you the person who maintains the checkpatch run which posts
results to patchwork?

Otherwise I think it is up to the DPDK maintainers to decide if an
exception is appropriate. I believe they have done this in the past.
It might not hurt to suggest the change to codespell, and then if
they're not on board, requesting an exception for your DPDK patch.

One possibility is starting a DPDK specific exceptions list, which
people could add to alongside their patches. I don't think the
maintainers will favor this though as I expect they will want to keep
checkpatch pretty simple and standard.

Adding the dev mailing list as I'm guessing other DPDK devs have run
into the same issue and might be able to provide more feedback.
