Package: mlterm Version: 3.9.3-1 Severity: normal Hello,
mlterm currently build-depends on canna to build "Canna input method plugin". Canna is rc-buggy, it breaks on -Werror=implicit-function-declaration (see #1066375 ). I had a look at the bug and it is non-trivial to fix. (I spent some effort, but gave up.) So I am wondering whether it would not make sense to stop building the mlterm canna input method plugin: * Canna is very dead upstream, 3.7p3 was uploaded to Debian in 2004. * Canna is also orphaned in Debian, the last maintainer upload happened in 2007. * Canna has only 28 popcon installations. I am using mlterm but I do not speak or write Japanese so I really have no idea how useful/popular the different Japanese input methods are. However I can see that freewnn and canna are both very much dead upstream and have been orphaned for a very long time. cu Andreas -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.6.15-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mlterm depends on: ii libc6 2.37-15 ii libfreetype6 2.13.2+dfsg-1+b1 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.10+dfsg-3+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.78.4-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.8.7-1 ii mlterm-common 3.9.3-1+b1 Versions of packages mlterm recommends: ii mlterm-tools 3.9.3-1+b1 Versions of packages mlterm suggests: pn fonts-arphic-bsmi00lp <none> pn fonts-arphic-gbsn00lp <none> ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20211204+svn4273-2 pn fonts-noto-cjk | fonts-nanum <none> pn fonts-vlgothic | fonts-japanese-gothic <none> pn mlterm-im-m17nlib <none> pn mlterm-im-scim <none> pn mlterm-im-uim <none> pn t1-cyrillic <none> ii unifont 1:15.1.01-1 ii xfonts-efont-unicode 0.4.2-12 -- no debconf information -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
