https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ibus-m17n_as_default_Sinhala_IME == Summary == The current default input method for Sinhala is ibus-sayura. This should change to the ibus-m17n input method “m17n:si:sayura - sayura (m17n)” == Owner == * Name: [[User:Mfabian| Mike Fabian]] * Email: <mfabian@xxxxxxxxxx> == Detailed Description == The current Fedora default input method ibus-sayura seems to be not actively maintained. Fixing bugs like this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1724759 is therefore difficult. The ibus-m17n input method si-sayura.mim does exactly the same (I developed this one to be an exact replacement for ibus-sayura). As ibus-sayura offers no additional benefit, it is probably better to use ibus-m17n with si-sayura as the default input method for Sinhala. ibus-m17n has to be maintained anyway. Therefore, this saves the effort of fixing the unmaintained ibus-sayura. == Benefit to Fedora == Save maintenance cost in maintaining ibus-sayura. si-sayura from m17n-db can be used both with ibus-m17n and with ibus-typing-booster, so actually it is more useful than ibus-sayura. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** update default IME in comps @input methods ** update langpacks-vi to use ibus-m17n and m17n-db ** the langtable package has data about default input methods. Change this data. * Other developers: gnome-desktop3 for default si_LK input method * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The package installed by default will change from ibus-sayura to the packages ibus-m17n and m17n-db for an installation in Sinhala. == How To Test == Install Fedora in Sinhala and check that the default input method is si-sayura with ibus-m17n. == User Experience == * There should be very little difference in typing Vietnamese as ibus-sayura and ibus-m17n with si-sayura.mim behave the same. * The setup tool looks a little different. * Package sizes and dependent packages are different. * Memory usage is different. == Dependencies == ibus-m17n and m17n-db * comps has to be updated == Contingency Plan == Revert changes back to ibus-sayura * Contingency mechanism: Revert comps and gnome-desktop3 * Contingency deadline: Beta release * Blocks release? No * Blocks product? None == Documentation == https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
