But usually, pushing to backport takes less efforts for the maintainer and release manager.

Here you go: https://bochecha.fedorapeople.org/tmp/0001-Multiple-upstream-fixes.patch Just to be clear, you'd apply that patch to the Jessie package (if it can get accepted in 8.1), but Sid would still get upgraded to 2.4 ? (Which seems perfectly reasonable, I'm just not sure I fully understand the Debian processes) In any case, thank you very much for your work. As upstream, it makes me very happy to see how hard you try to provide Debian users the best possible experience with the software I'm making. :) -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Issue**s** ;) I'm not sure if Debian users tend to use backports. If it's well documented, and there's an expectation that users should look into backports, then sure. (and realistically, it's better to have it fixed in backports than not at all ;) ) Now, as a user of input method yourself, what would you think of an input method which gives you duplicate suggestions, or displays the suggestion popup in the wrong location on the screen? To me those (and the other 2 I described in the original comment) are pretty serious, and I do think having them in stable "proper" (i.e 8.1) would be preferable, so that users don't have to suffer these issues out of the box. > I prepare the 2.4-1 for sid, and > we can just backport it once it reaches sid. Thank you. :) As for the libcangjie issue we worked on earlier, if you prefer a single patch to apply to the current package in Jessie, I'm more than happy to oblige and make you one. (I do realize that the timing has been awful for these 2 issues, as I finally fixed them upstream at the worst possible time for the new versions to reach Debian stable. My apologies for this.) -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Any news? This would be a very important update for Debian users in Hong Kong or Taiwan. :-/ -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#782453: ibus-cangjie: Many UX issues fixed upstream
Package: ibus-cangjie Version: 2.2-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, The version of ibus-cangjie in Jessie (2.2) contains many issues which were fixed upstream in subsequent releases. The 2.3 release fixes: * a serious usability issue, where we would in some cases suggest duplicate characters to the users: https://github.com/Cangjians/ibus-cangjie/issues/63 * a python traceback (in the background, not crashing the engine, but which was nevertheless triggering automatic crash catchers): https://github.com/Cangjians/ibus-cangjie/issues/57 * an incorrect translation for Taiwan users: https://github.com/Cangjians/ibus-cangjie/issues/61 And the 2.4 release works around another serious usability issue, where the candidate popup was misplaced (i.e not at the input cursor, but at the bottom of the screen) on some applications, most notably Firefox (which is quite the common app): https://github.com/Cangjians/ibus-cangjie/issues/60 This is a leaf package, which shouldn't break anything in the distribution. However, having ibus-cangjie up to date in Jessie would mean that Hong Kong people (who majoritarily input Chinese with a Cangjie input method) would have a great out-of-the box experience with Jessie. Please update ibus-cangjie to 2.4 in Jessie. The best thing would be in the initial release, else at a release point, and else in backports. As the upstream developer for ibus-cangjie, I'm willing to work with you to review differences, help backport patches, or anything else which could help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_HK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_HK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ibus-cangjie depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.22.0-1 ii gir1.2-ibus-1.0 1.5.9-1 ii ibus 1.5.9-1 ii python3 3.4.2-2 ii python3-gi 3.14.0-1 ii python3-pycangjie1.2-1 pn python3:any ibus-cangjie recommends no packages. ibus-cangjie suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
