Privacy Though, it really help user to typing Chinese a lot (Even I use it everyday), it should not be installed by default. The reason is in that way this package will send your typing data (in the same meaning of you search on google and google learn from your search keyword) to the cloudpinyin provider, though, there is no cookie, no session, but still you ARE sending the data to some company. If people install it by hand, they will need to response to themselves, but opensuse install such thing by default, the Responsibility is on opensuse side, which will harm the image of opensuse. 2. If we really leave the privacy aside, and say I really don't care that much since there are already thousands of millions of people using it everyday (The default provider develop one of the most popular windows chinese input method, on windows and with such function built in). But, another problem is the security of such http request, as I described in wiki page. If you really want to install it by default (Even only for Chinese locale), please patch it to use Google backend by default. Only Google backend provides SSL link, which could avoid leaking message by sniffer like attack. I don't want to use Google by default since Google is kinds of blocked by Chinese GFW and that may harm the functionality of this package for most people who need it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
