Package: task-amharic-desktop
Version: 3.83
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-input-method@lists.debian.org
Tags: patch

Hi all,

As a follow-up request to https://bugs.debian.org/1087657 , I am requesting to migrate
the input method support for task-malayalam-desktop and related packages from fcitx4
to fcitx5.

(With my Debian Input Method Team member hat on) The fcitx 4.x branch
is officially dead and is not encouraged to use due to the lack of
Wayland support. All fcitx4-related packages are planned for removal after
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release. For now I am proposing to replace these dependencies
with packages from fcitx5 to provide the equivalent functionality in tasksel packages.

A patch is provided as an attachment. A merge request will be submitted afterwards.

Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or questions.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang

Subject: [PATCH] task-amharic*: Migrate from fcitx4 to fcitx5

For task-amharic-*, they are now using fcitx 4.x. Considering that
fcitx 4.x upstream support is now officially dead and upstream has
archived related projects [1], we should move to use fcitx5's support
instead.

This commit contains the following changes:

* fcitx -> fcitx5
* fcitx-table-amharic -> fcitx5-table-amharic
* fcitx gtk2/gtk3 frontend -> fcitx5 gtk2/gtk3/gtk4 frontend
* fcitx4 qt5 frontend -> fcitx5 qt5/qt6 frontend
* fcitx4 KDE config -> fcitx5 KDE config

Besides, the dependency to fcitx4 GTK config GUI tool is removed
since the fcitx5 upstream is only providing a Qt/KDE frontend GUI
config tool at this moment.
