Unfortunately, it has not been accepted due to a license problem of fcitx-mozc. A option is changing the license of the whole package of mozc from BSD-3 to GPL-v2+. But we need consider side effects caused by changing the license. Since mozc is not a library, I guess it will not cause a critical problem. Fuminobu TAKEYAMA 2013/1/11 Marguerite Su :

写道: 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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
