Made a little investigation. Excluding ibus-table, ibus-pinyin and ibus-pinyin-db-android would free 1.5 MB of archive space.
Checked the required archive space for a few possible candidates: ibus-sunpinyin - pulls: libglade2-0 libsunpinyin3 python-glade2 sunpinyin-data - would need 25.5 MB ibus-chewing - pulls: libchewing3 libchewing3-data - would need 1.4 MB ibus-anthy (for Japanese) - pulls: anthy anthy-common libanthy0 - would need 2.8 MB ibus-hangul (for Korean) - pulls: libhangul-data libhangul1 - would need 2.5 MB The net increase of archive space due to those changes would be 31 MB. The ISO for i386 is currently 923 MB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Kylin Members, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Kylin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164252 Title: Improve default selection of IBus related packages Status in Ubuntu Kylin: Fix Released Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Currently we have: """ Input methods: * (im-config) * (ibus) * (ibus-gtk3) * (ibus-table) * (ibus-pinyin) * (ibus-pinyin-db-android) """ This is suboptimal in many ways. 1. ibus-gtk should be included, since we have notable GTK2 applications like Firefox and LibreOffice. 2. ibus-table doesn't provide a working input method by itself, it needs at least one of ibus-table-* package to work. 3. ibus-pinyin is useful for only limited set of people; even Simplified Chinese language support defaults to ibus-sunpinyin while UbuntuKylin and LinuxDeepin (a noteable Ubuntu-based distro in China) switch to Fcitx altogether. The conclusion is that the real workhorse IBus related packages would be pulled by language support. For meta package like ubuntu-desktop, we either leave a barebone IBus (ibus, ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3) or remove IBus altogether.
