Hello, Pango 1.14.9 has been released [1] with Thai language engine (in addition to shaping engine).
[1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2006-December/msg00025.html The language engine is currently provided by pango-libthai package in Debian. But, in favor of the language engine from upstream version, which was actually taken from pango-libthai code, I'd like to drop pango-libthai from Debian, and use upstream version instead. Unfortunately, this would take a few more steps. What we need in the new pango deb is - Build-Depends: libthai-dev >= 0.1.7-1 - Conflicts: pango-libthai However, libthai in sid/etch is currently 0.1.6-1. Libthai 0.1.7 would require a new package, libdatrie, for which I have filed ITP bug #392315, and prepared the package in mentors.debian.net [2], waiting for sponsorship for over a month. [2] http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libdatrie/ And libthai 0.1.7-1 has also been prepared but distributed locally [3], until libdatrie is available in Debian. [3] http://linux.thai.net/apt/libthai/ Its source can be obtained by: dget http://linux.thai.net/apt/libthai/libthai_0.1.7-1.dsc That's all we need, to have Thai language engine in the new pango. Alternatively, if that takes too much, esp. if the new pango is still aimed for etch, we can ship it without Thai language module, and provide pango-libthai until libthai 0.1.7 makes it into Debian. But in the long run, pango-libthai is doomed (as well as its friend, gtk-im-libthai, once the new GTK+ is released upstream). What do you think?
