The version of libgnome-desktop in trixie (44.1) currently defaults to ibus-table-cangjie5 for zh_HK, but we are now looking at updating to gnome-desktop 44.3, which changes the default to ibus-cangjie: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/-/merge_requests/168 This reverts a change made in 2022 (between bullseye and bookworm) while ibus-cangjie was not being actively maintained: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Ibus_table_cangjie_default_for_zh_hk I'm looking for advice from the -i18n and -l10n-chinese lists: is ibus-cangjie a better default for speakers of Chinese in Hong Kong, or should we be keeping ibus-table-cangjie5? Relatedly, the other Chinese locales with default input methods in libgnome-desktop are: - ibus-libpinyin for zh_CN; - ibus-chewing for zh_TW which match up with the two Chinese GNOME metapackages in tasksel: - task-chinese-s-gnome-desktop recommends ibus-libpinyin, matching zh_CN - task-chinese-t-gnome-desktop recommends ibus-chewing, matching zh_TW Should one of those metapackages pull in ibus-cangjie and/or ibus-table-cangjie5? If yes, which metapackage? Thanks, smcv
