https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ibus-m17n_as_default_Vietnamese_IME
== Summary == The current default input method for Vietnamese is ibus-bogo. This should change to the ibus-m17n input method “m17n:vi:telex - telex (m17n)” == Owner == * Name: [[User:Mfabian| Mike Fabian]] * Email: <mfab...@redhat.com> == Detailed Description == The current Fedora default input method ibus-bogo seems to be not actively maintained and it doesn't work on Gnome Wayland. The bug has been reported already in Fedora 30, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1690326 The ibus-m17n input method vi-telex.mim seems to do the same as ibus-bogo, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1690326#c12 Using vi-telex.mim via ibus-m17n seems to behave exactly like ibus-bogo. If ibus-bogo offers no additional benefit, it is probably better to use ibus-m17n with vi-telex as the default input method for Vietnamese. ibus-m17n has to be maintained anyway. Therefore, this saves the effort of fixing the unmaintained ibus-bogo. == Benefit to Fedora == Vietnamese input works again on Gnome-Wayland. Currently with ibus-bogo it is broken. == 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. ** Change default input method in `libgnome-desktop/default-input-sources.h` Here are the changes for ibus-anthy requested by Takao Fujiwara, I need to request similar changes for changing from ibus-bogo as the default to ibus-m17n: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3430 https://gitlab.gnome.org/fujiwarat/gnome-desktop/-/commit/04ad3737d5d1b66ede1b4fbd9672ba8c373c06e8 * Other developers: gnome-desktop3 for default vi_VN input method * Release engineering: (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The package installed by default will change from ibus-bogo to the packages ibus-m17n and m17n-db for an installation in Vietnamese. == How To Test == Install Fedora in Vietnamese and check that the default input method is vi-telex with ibus-m17n. == User Experience == * There should be very little difference in typing Vietnamese as ibus-bogo and ibus-m17n with vi-telex.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 * gnome-desktop3 has to be updated == Contingency Plan == Revert changes back to ibus-bogo * 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-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org
