Hi, Marguerite Su and M17N maintainers,
I am confused by the big patch for Fcitx added to the mozc package yesterday
without any reviews and discussion.
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/114205
My concern is that this patch decrease maintainability of that package.
As you know, Mozc's release cycle is very short.
Who will maintain the patch?
Will Fcitx maintainers (including the patch developer?) release new patch
for every Mozc release?
I cannot think they will do so, as long as I read their website.
This is why the openSUSE packaging policy says "Ask upstream first", right?
It is, however, good news that fcitx support Mozc.
I guess this can be demonstrated by creating separated OBS package like
fcitx-mozc if some header files of mozc are packaged.
Anyway, I would like to roll back for now because mozc is now really essential
package for Japanese users.
If the patch is the best solution and users need fcitx support,
shall we add the patch again?
