Package: task-amharic-desktop Version: 3.83 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected] Tags: patch
Hi all, As a follow-up request to https://bugs.debian.org/1087657 , I am requesting to migrate the input method support for task-malayalam-desktop and related packages from fcitx4 to fcitx5. (With my Debian Input Method Team member hat on) The fcitx 4.x branch is officially dead and is not encouraged to use due to the lack of Wayland support. All fcitx4-related packages are planned for removal after Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release. For now I am proposing to replace these dependencies with packages from fcitx5 to provide the equivalent functionality in tasksel packages. A patch is provided as an attachment. A merge request will be submitted afterwards. Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or questions. Thanks, Boyuan Yang
From 49a43960c03db2fe6722c438c728aa483ce9638b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boyuan Yang <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 18:17:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] task-amharic*: Migrate from fcitx4 to fcitx5 For task-amharic-*, they are now using fcitx 4.x. Considering that fcitx 4.x upstream support is now officially dead and upstream has archived related projects [1], we should move to use fcitx5's support instead. This commit contains the following changes: * fcitx -> fcitx5 * fcitx-table-amharic -> fcitx5-table-amharic * fcitx gtk2/gtk3 frontend -> fcitx5 gtk2/gtk3/gtk4 frontend * fcitx4 qt5 frontend -> fcitx5 qt5/qt6 frontend * fcitx4 KDE config -> fcitx5 KDE config Besides, the dependency to fcitx4 GTK config GUI tool is removed since the fcitx5 upstream is only providing a Qt/KDE frontend GUI config tool at this moment.
