Dear Debian tasksel maintainers and Traditional Chinese users/developers, As a follow-up request to https://bugs.debian.org/1117875 , [2] and [3], I am looking into the possibility to migrate the last usage of fcitx4 to other input method framework implementation. The fcitx 4.x input method framework does not support Wayland, is now officially dead and unmaintained. It will be kept until after Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release [1]. The Traditional Chinese desktop task is the last known component in Debian that still depends on fcitx 4.x at the moment. The migration from fcitx 4.x to fcitx 5.x should be straightforward. The previous concerns raised in [3] should have been fully addressed. On the other hand, migrating to ibus for all Tranditional Chinese desktop environments is also viable. Please consider reviewing the current available Input Method frameworks in Debian and make the switch at your convenience, but the decision should be made no later than the Debian Forky freeze (~Dec 2026). Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks, Boyuan Yang [1] https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues.en.html#deprecated-components-for-releasename [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-chinese-big5/2024/10/msg00000.html [3] https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/5da979474066d8ebe8c7283c788b920f9fdeb29a
