Feature changed by: Satoru Matsumoto (HeliosReds) Feature #308892, revision 5 Title: Replace scim with IBUS openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mingxi Wu (mingxi_wu) Description: SCIM upstream is almost dead. We should not keep an unmaintained software in openSUSE. IBUS (http://code.google.com/p/ibus/), a new developed input method is very active and full functionality, and other distributions like Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/desktop-karmic-input-methods) and Fedora already had done this. We have some contributors done the IBUS packaging at OBS https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:swyear:ibus . Everything is OK on my openSUSE 11.2 box except fail to enable it in a gnomesu window, but this is not a problem as other distributions don't have this bug. Discussion: #1: Rémy Marquis (spyhawk) (2010-03-02 08:32:22) ibus in openSUSE by default would be great. Also, ibus seems to solve many problems that occur with others IME under Linux (such as no dead keys for no-US keyboard), and is far better integrated under KDE4, thanks to kimpanel. I am using the packages of swyear and everything is working without problem. #2: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-08-24 10:14:31) We should do this for 11.4. + #3: Satoru Matsumoto (heliosreds) (2010-08-25 06:05:25) + As I posted to -m17n list before, there have been some problems in + inputting with iBus on Flash sites. + http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-m17n/2010-03/msg00001.html + Please go to + http://bugzilla-attachments.mozilla.gr.jp/attachment.cgi?id=2275 for + validation. + Using Firefox (and also Chromium) on openSUSE 11.3 x86_64, I can't + input any characters into input box on that site with iBus. SCIM also + has a similar problem (cannot launch SCIM-Anthy), but I can input ASCII + characters with SCIM at least. (As far as I confirmed, launching + Firefox (and also Chromium) with 'GTK_IM_MODULE=xim' will be the + solution for this problem both for iBus and SCIM) + In addition, we don't have a substitution of scim-input-pad (necessary + for inputting special characters) for iBus ATM. There's a project + 'Input Pad' and we can find the source code of 'ibus-input-pad' there, + but it hasn't been packaged for openSUSE yet. + I think these problems should be solved before replacing SCIM with + iBus. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308892
