Hi ChangZhuo!
In April Ubuntu will release Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and we would like to
provide ibus-libpinyin 1.9.2 as the default IM for Simplified
Chinese.
So we are about to build these packages from Debian experimental in
the Ubuntu archive:
* ibus-libpinyin 1.9.2-1~exp1
* fcitx-libpinyin 0.5.2-1~exp1
* libpinyin 2.1.0-1~exp3
As regards libpinyin we think it's motivated to exclude the
libzhuyin13 and libzhuyin-dev binaries when building. That way e.g.
ibus-libzhuyin and fcitx-zhuyin (which depend on libzhuyin7) can
co-exist with ibus-libpinyin and fcitx-libpinyin. (I'm not sure if
ibus-libzhuyin works properly anyway, though.)
I tested ibus-libzhuyin in experimental today, and I can type
Chinese words without any problem. So I think it is good.
I had missed that also ibus-libzhuyin is present in experimental, so my
remark refers to version 1.7.10-1. Just tested version 1.8.0-1~exp1, and
it works for me too.
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.
The latter is not built in experimental, and it appears to not be
needed. fcitx-libpinyin in experimental is a wrapper package which ships
three input methods:
$ dpkg -L fcitx-libpinyin | grep inputmethod/
/usr/share/fcitx/inputmethod/pinyin-libpinyin.conf
/usr/share/fcitx/inputmethod/shuangpin-libpinyin.conf
/usr/share/fcitx/inputmethod/zhuyin-libpinyin.conf
So, as far as I now understand, the fcitx-zhuyin and libzhuyin source
packages should simply be dropped from sid, and these packages in
experimental:
libpinyin
ibus-libpinyin
ibus-libzhuyin
fcitx-libpinyin
should be moved to sid.
Does that make sense to you?
Then, for now on the Ubuntu side, we'd better keep libpinyin
2.1.0-1~exp3 without modifications and also sync ibus-libzhuyin from
Debian experimental.
