Package: task-kannada-desktop Version: 3.83 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected] [email protected]
Hi all, As a follow-up request to https://bugs.debian.org/1117873 , I am requesting to migrate the input method support for task-kannada-desktop and related packages from fcitx4 to fcitx5. (With my Debian Input Method Team member hat on) The fcitx 4.x branch is officially dead and is not encouraged to use due to the lack of Wayland support. All fcitx4-related packages are planned for removal after Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release. For now I am proposing to replace these dependencies with packages from fcitx5 to provide the equivalent functionality in tasksel packages. A patch is provided as an attachment. A merge request will be submitted afterwards. Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or questions. Thanks, Boyuan Yang

Considering that fcitx 4.x upstream support is now officially dead and upstream has archived related projects [1], we should move the use fcitx5's support instead. This commit contains the following changes: * fcitx -> fcitx5 * fcitx-m17n -> fcitx5-m17n * kde-config-fcitx -> kde-config-fcitx5 Besides, the dependency to fcitx4 GTK config GUI tool is removed since the fcitx5 upstream is only providing a Qt/KDE frontend GUI config tool at this moment.
