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?
Fcitx-mozc is also essential for some group of fcitx Japanese users. I think as packagers we have no obvious reason to drop a successful and well-maintained feature. by adding it, fcitx OBS maintainers will also have to maintain mozc, there're 4 active maintainers on OBS, personally I think it's good to add maintianers to such a essential package.
openSUSE is the best distro that fcitx supports. fcitx developers are also on OBS( home:csslayer:fcitx* ). so there's no need to worry the unmaintained thing that early. it really hurts someone's feeling.
One thing I concern is, whether you fcitx guys have tested / will test the patched mozc packages in combination with ibus as well or not. If not, testing phase might be needed before release, because most Japanese users use mozc in combination with ibus ATM.
Looking at the patch, I guess it would rarely influence on other backends, but yes, it's a good point. More test coverages would be better. In general, you can use freely M17N:Devel subproject for such a testing purpose. Ask people testing packages on M17N:Devel, at least for regression tests, then move up to M17N. This is a safer procedure. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner@opensuse.org
