Hi all, I would like to submit a new package named mozc and its dependent packages, zinnia, zinnia-tomoe. Mozc is a Japanese input method engine developed by Google. It is becoming a de facto standard in Linux community because it provides more precise conversion and it seems that the previous standard engine, Anthy, is not maintained recently. Zinnia and zinnia-tomoe provide hand-writing recognition for mozc. # Input method engine is essential especially for CJK users. # Without it, we cannot input letters used in those countries. The package of Mozc have been incubated for more than a year in the M17N project. Now many people uses this package. However, it is not desirable to ask continuously all Japanese users to install it from M17N, which is a devel project for other packages. There is a problem in development process by the upstream. The upstream, Google, currently would not accept any patches written in a programming language since Mozc is a part of their proprietary product. Our package, thereby, contains a big patch to support Fcitx. This upstream's policy might cause difficulty of maintenance. Through discussion in the opensuse-ja list, we think the benefit from shipping it with openSUSE is much bigger than the risk of maintainability. I am sorry for a late proposal. I hope Mozc will be shipped with openSUSE 12.3.
