Promoting fcitx5 to Factory
Hi, Fcitx 5 has been in the M17N project for more than a year now, and it has an 5.0.0 release in November last year. Perhaps it's time to promote it into the Factory, co-existing with Fcitx 4? My personal experience spanning over 2 weeks is that fcitx5 seems to be the only IME that works consistently on Sway (a Wayland window manager, also). IBus falls a bit short when used with Firefox and Telegram Desktop. Having fcitx5 in Factory would make Sway users' live a bit easier by making it available without an extra `zypper addrepo ...` step. Best, Shung-Hsi
Hi, @Marguerite Do you have any plan about this? On 2021/04/07 17:47, Shung-Hsi Yu wrote:

Hi, Fcitx5 is considered stable. And I have plan to replace fcitx4 with fcitx5 in Tumbleweed, not keep them both. I was about to test the fcitx4 -> fcitx5 upgrade in a clean installation... but I don’t have time right now Fuminobu TAKEYAMA <ftake@geeko.jp>于2021年4月11日 周日下午7:29写道:

Please let me know if you have any concerns regarding the migration or anything new you want me to add. Right now data is not automatically migrated and I added a gui tool to migrate over the data. This can get some more love to make the transition smoother.

Currently I just find fcitx5 has no Chinese quwei method...but nobody still use it in 202X. Right now data is not automatically migrated and I added a gui tool to
migrate over the data. This can get some more love to make the transition smoother.
I think I can write some simple codes to do the data migration in the background. because rpm %post does no support GUI.

Well, it's not only about GUI, but in general, rpm cannot (shouldn't) modify the data in $HOME at the package installation / upgrade. This has to be fiddled in user level. thanks, Takashi
