Thanks for saying that, Anthony. Actually, just installing the zh_CN language is sufficient, since also language-selector pulls in ibus- sunpinyin. Then I conclude that we have agreed to stop seeding ibus- pinyin.
As regards ibus-qt4 there is an obstacle not related to archive space: The ibus-qt source package is currently in universe, and seeded packages must be in main. Aron Xu or Xiaojun Ma or somebody else: Could you please file a MIR bug against ibus-qt, where you explain why ibus-qt4 should be seeded. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess -- 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.
