Hi Again :)
I haven't tested Fedora Core 6-test1, but there is no
scim-bridge-gtkimm.i386 for x86_64 architectures, isn't there? Scim-bridge
now supports multilibs so you can use scim-bridge-gtkimm.i386 on them; It
communicate with scim.x86_64. On the other hand, It doesn't need
scim-libs.i386 at all.
When Fedora is packaged for a particular version, only the rpm's for
that arch are included in the distro.
That's not true, I think. There is scim-libs.i386 in FC5.x86_64. :(
Yes, you are right. I just checked FC5's tree at download.fedora.redhat.com
Some i386 rpms seem to be included in the distro for x86_64.
This is useful because there is some apps only provides i386 binaries.
For example, acroread. I use acroread on x86_64 architecture with
scim-bridge-gtkimm.i386. This is why scim-bridge has been developed.
Whithout it, you have to use fallback xim or origial scim-gtkimm. The
former
kills inline preedits and the latter kills acroread itself! So I insist
that
scim-bridge-gtkimm.i386 should be included in FC6.x86_64.
Is there a bug filed i Red Hat bugzilla for the same?
What do you mean?
You mean I should put this into bugzilla?
Being in bugzilla, this issue can be tested by the Fedora QE team.
Also, the bug filled in bugzilla will give your point a strong
reference so as the necessary i386 rpms can be bundled along x86_64
rpms in future releases.
Thanks,
