I tested ibus-libzhuyin in experimental today, and I can type Chinese words without any problem. So I think it is good. If there is no problem, I prefer to update libpinyin and libzhuyin together to the new version. It would be easily to maintain since we only need to deal with single source tarball. > I made an attempt to instead build the versions of ibus-libzhuyin and > fcitx-zhuyin in the Debian archive with libzhuyin-dev 2.1.0, but wasn't > successful. I suppose it's more into it. Is this something you are aware of? Current ibus-libzhuyin was built with libzhuyin-dev 2.1.0, so it shall be no problem. I will check if anything go wrong. I don't remember building fcitx-zhuyin with libzhuyin-dev 2.1.0, will also check it as well. > A more general question: Why are the updated libpinyin and friends still in > experimental?
