Package: task-chinese-t-desktop
Version: 3.84
Severity: normal

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

* Team upload.
.
[ Jeremy Bícha ]
* task-japanese-gnome*-desktop: Don't recommend thunderbird.
* task-chinese-s-desktop: Remove goldendict-ng from Recommends.
* Remove direct Recommends: im-config since input methods already recommend
it.
* Consistently use tabs in d/control.
.
[ Holger Wansing ]
* task-chinese-*-desktop: remove 'Suggests: fonts-arphic-ukai,
fonts-arphic-uming'; fonts-noto-cjk is already in Recommends, and that is
way more common these days.
* task-chinese-t-kde-desktop: switch from fcitx to ibus input method, since
fcitx is broken for Traditional Chinese currently. Closes: #1120735.
