Hello test group, let me announce these days we are testing SCIM input method framework.
About the project: This project is to integrate SCIM (www.scim-im.org) and its various IMEs (input method engines) to Solaris Nevada and OpenSolaris. This is mainly targeted for Asian users (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian,Thai etc ...), but there is also Russian and Arabic input included. You can download and install test packages in two ways: 1. download from http://sunvirtuallab.com:34002/sol10n, those are svr4 packages - use pkgadd/pkgrm to install/uninstall the packages. 2. install form our test repository http://pkg.sunvirtuallab.com : pkg:/SUNWlibdatrie at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T051310Z pkg:/SUNWlibthai at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T051719Z pkg:/SUNWscim at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T052043Z pkg:/SUNWscim-bridge at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T053115Z pkg:/SUNWscim-anthy at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T053235Z pkg:/SUNWscim-chewing at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T053420Z pkg:/SUNWscim-hangul at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T053726Z pkg:/SUNWscim-tables at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T053853Z pkg:/SUNWscim-pinyin at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T055058Z pkg:/SUNWscim-sunpinyin at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T055532Z pkg:/SUNWscim-thai at 0.5.11,5.11-0.93:20080715T060841Z $ pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.sunvirtuallab.com sunvirtuallab $ pfexec pkg install pkg://sunvirtuallab/SUNWscim ======================================================== TEST INSTRUCTION: Note, please test with gdm display manager. $ echo "GTK_IM_MODULE=scim" >> $HOME/.profile $ echo "export GTK_IM_MODULE" >> $HOME/.profile And apply the following patch to /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession, --- Xsession Wed Jul 9 13:39:15 2008 +++ Xsession.new Wed Jul 9 13:40:06 2008 @@ -220,6 +220,10 @@ if [ -f /etc/iiim/xsession ]; then . /etc/iiim/xsession fi +#Startup Input methods (SCIM->XIM) +if [ -f /etc/scim/xsession ]; then + . /etc/scim/xsession +fi #Startup XIM stuff if [ "x$XMODIFIERS" = "x" ]; then if [ -f "$HOME/.xim" ]; then =========================================================== 1. scim daemons, scim-panel-gtk, and switcher (on notification area) are launched after you login via gdm 2. ctrl+sapce could activate the input method, and the panel pops up 3. you could select the input method from the list on panel, and it works for gnome application and X11 applications =========================================================== !!IMPORTANT!! - This is pre-integration testing - don't submit bugs to bugzilla as the project is not integrated yet, please just report issues/results here to test group alias (g11n-test-group at opensolaris.org).
