Bug#393630: tasksel: Please update simplified Chinese tasks



Package: tasksel
Version: 2.57
Severity: wishlist

Hello tasksel developers,

I would like to have the simplified Chinese (chinese-s) and simplified
Chinese desktop (chinese-s-desktop) tasks updated for etch release.
After the discussion among Chinese users on debian-chinese-gb list (the
discussion thread can be seen starting at [1], in Chinese), I'd like to
ask you to update the two tasks as the attached files.

1. http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-chinese-gb%40lists.debian.org/msg13644.html

I am also going to give the comments for the diff below for the
rationale of the changes (excluding reordering changes and added
comments):

> --- tasks.orig/chinese-s	2006-10-06 14:39:30.000000000 -0500
> +++ tasks/chinese-s	2006-10-17 02:08:36.000000000 -0500
> -  ttfprint

ttfprint no longer exists in testing or unstable.

> --- tasks.orig/chinese-s-desktop	2006-10-06 14:39:30.000000000 -0500
> +++ tasks/chinese-s-desktop	2006-10-17 02:08:03.000000000 -0500
> -  scim-chinese
> +  scim-pinyin

scim-chinese was renamed to scim-pinyin.  scim-chinese in etch is just a
dummy package for transition.

> +  im-switch

This is for automatic input method support.  Two of the three included
input methods, scim and fcitx, supports im-switch.

> +  xfonts-wqy

This is a new bitmap font especially designed for Chinese, and has many
users.

> -  bg5ps

bg5ps no longer exists in testing or unstable.

> +  paps

This is a printing support package based on pango, and is reported to
support Chinese quite well.

Thanks in advance,
Ming
