I successfully built the existing version of ibus-libpinyin with lua5.3 instead of lua5.1, and the resulting binary seems to work fine. Debdiff attached to bug #1735362.
So even if it would be desirable to update to newer upstream versions, that's not a blocker for this MIR, is it? ~desktop-packages is bug subscriber to ibus-sunpinyin currently, so I'd suggest the same for ibus-libpinyin and libpinyin. ** Changed in: ibus-libpinyin (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Description changed: Please include these packages in Ubuntu's component main: * ibus-libpinyin * libpinyin (the ibus-libpinyin binary depends on libpinyin7) - * lua5.1 (the ibus-libpinyin binary depends on liblua5.1-0) As has been discussed at bug #1735362 we would like to replace ibus- sunpinyin with ibus-libpinyin ("Intelligent Pinyin") in the live seed and as the default input method for typing Simplified Chinese. Reasons for the switch are: - ibus-libpinyin is better maintained - ibus-libpinyin is built with and depends on Python3 - (not yet in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/883631) + (not yet in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/883631) - ibus-libpinyin is default input method in GNOME Bugs ibus-libpinyin ------------------- https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-libpinyin/issues https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=ibus-libpinyin https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-libpinyin Bugs libpinyin -------------- https://github.com/libpinyin/libpinyin/issues (no open Debian or Ubuntu bugs) - Bugs lua5.1 - ----------- - http://www.lua.org/bugs.html#5.1.5 - - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=lua5.1 - - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lua5.1 - I have read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements, and haven't found any issues that would prevent the proposed main inclusion. ** No longer affects: lua5.1 (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738582 Title: [MIR] ibus-libpinyin and dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-libpinyin/+bug/1738582/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
