For example, if you use openSUSE 12.1, follow steps below: 1) Add M17N repo to your install source. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/M17N/openSUSE_12.1/ 2) Install gjiten and wadokujt packages (and their requirements, if needed). 3) Launch Gjiten. 4) Edit -> Preferences -> Add "/usr/share/edict/wadokujt" as 'Japanisch-Deutsch' (or any other name as you like) Then, you'll be able to select 'Japanisch-Deutsch' on Gjiten. By the way, when you are online, you can use http://www.wadoku.de/ for your communicating in Japanese. ;-) Best. -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.zaq.ne.jp/opensuse/ _/_/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] A plan to update ibus 1.5
by Fuminobu TAKEYAMA 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hello all, Let's restart to discuss toward 13.1. We had postponed to update ibus to 1.5.0 for 12.3 because of several regressions or bugs. # and other distributions such as Ubuntu also did. However, I know some ibus engines require 1.5 and ibus is a part of GNOME. So we cannot keep the old version. Did anyone test ibus-1.5.2 in M17N:Devel? https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ibus&project=M17N%3ADevel I am testing a copy of the package in my repo for several weeks. It looks fine to me though some key binds are not available anymore. What we have to do for ibus on M17N:Devel? 1. fix .changes file We cannot change the history of a package which had been submitted to Factory. We may have to revert it to that of M17N and put *a* new log entry containing: - merge branch in M17N:Devel - update to 1.5.2 * changes in this version - update to 1.5.1 * changes in this version - update to 1.5.0 * changes in this version We, especially hillwood, did trial and error for more than one year. I think we can write some comments on this entry to record the trial and error. 2. add "Obsoletes ibus-gnome-shell" Now I have time for update. Shall I update? Does anyone want to do it? Then, now we have SR from dimstar. https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/180448 Thanks a lot! It seems that important changes in M17N:Devel are missing in the SR, though. I guess it does not work correctly. It it a quick way to fix the package in M17N:Devel? Any idea?

[opensuse-m17n] [M17N]Drop SLE_10/SLE_11/SLE_11_SP1/openSUSE_11.4/openSUSE_12.1, add SP3.
by Marguerite Su 29 Jun '13

Hi, listmates, I'm planning to drop SLE_10, SLE_11, SLE_11_SP1, openSUSE 11.4 and openSUSE_12.1 repos and add SLE_11_SP3 repo to M17N. Reasons: For SLE: * I'm not sure about the history of M17N repo. But in my view, the SLE repos to be dropped are very old (even SuSE didn't sell them for a while). * Seldom people actually use those repos, they're just wasting our resources. * Even if there's still very few people who are using obsolete SLEs, I suppose they're not using packages from M17N at all because this is a repo for local packages. Who will use an input method on a GUI-less server? For openSUSE 11.4/12.1: * They're EOL. Instead, we'll: * add the new SLE_11_SP3 repo for SLE users. * add Evengreen repo for users who prefer LTS. * keep SLE_11_SP2 for a while to make users' migration to SP3 smooth. Any comments/suggestions? Greetings Marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner(a)opensuse.org
