--enable-hebrew is a hack remaining in licq from the pre-Qt3 days. It
will probably break the native Hebrew (and all other languages as well)
support which Qt 3 provides. I suggest you stick with the
licq-plugin-qt (or licq-plugin-kde, if you're on KDE, to get even
better KDE integration) and forget about --enable-hebrew.

BTW, once the licq GTK backend will be ported to GTK+ 2, --enable-hebrew
would confilct with it as well. All in all, it's an obsolete option.

fribidi provides the bidi reversing algorithm. As to handling of the
actual input fields, the environments differ too much for such a
unified library to be possible. But all of this isn't relevant to the
question at hand.

  I don't know. I guess that now we need someone who can understand the
source. GTk 2 support Hebrew much like QT3, doesn't it? What will happen
when the package gets compiled against GTk 2?
  In general, can I write software which will be compiled against QT3
so that it will be able to use the QT3 bidi features even in text mode
(be it on the console, xterm, ...)? What about GTk?

  Isn't there a bidi library which is independent of whether the program
is running in textual or graphical environment? Can QT3 or GTk bidi 
features turned off so that such a library can always do its work? Does
the use of unicode or utf8 eliminate the problem all together by avoiding
it in the first place? I do feel that I am using most of the relevant
buzz words that I am familiar with but in effect I am totally clueless.

I don't think it needs it in QT3, which supports Hebrew out of the box.
however the GTk GUI plugin of licq doesn't support Hebrew. could that
switch be GTk specific? or maybe for the console version of licq? the
program comes with three different interfaces (I mean different features

relates only to one of the three (I bet on the text mode)

Browsing debian/rules doesn't show that it is configured with

I do not care enough to do the test myself (sorry), but my sister was 
successfully using licq with Hebrew, and she is defenitely using the 
package as supplied in Sid.

   , it means that it's only a question 
of time until these packages make their way into stable. The big 
question at hand is, therefor, whether they will make it into sarge, or 
wait until the next one along.

   

 Basically, stable = Woody + security updates.

No - stable is a symlink currently pointing at woody. Woody = 
3.0+security updates.

Therefore, in general, no
package will enter stable until Sarge will be officially released, which
will make stable refers to it.
At which point licq with Hebrew support may enter stable. This is 
exactly what I said. "make their way into stable... whether they will 
make it into sarge".

A package that was accepted to the debian
archive enters unstable, also known as Sid.
That one is an alias.

If there are no problems
with it as well as with the packages it depends on, it is then copied to 
testing, which is also called Sarge.

Not true. Testing is also called Sarge *now*. Next time we have a Debian 
release (hopefully, before 2005 this time), Testing will be called 
something else.

It seems that licq is always broken
in some way and that it was never released by Debian, nor it has entered
testing.
 

This is to Shaul - adding a space after the dash dash (i.e. - "-- " 
instead of "--") at the begining of your signature will cause mail 
clients to recognise it as a signature.

   



 I don't recall explicitly configuring this feature. I am using mutt
+ vim and it seems that the the signature inclusion, together with the 
"--" string came out of the box. 
 

Are you saying that mutt added the "--", or that you wrote it yourself? 
If the former, that needs to be reported as a bug in Mutt.

  Some maintainers preferred to be contacted by issuing bug reports on
matters such as this. I believe a bug report is better then a private
email. In addition, unless there is high urgency to get their upload 
into testing, what is likely to happen is that they will upload to 
unstable, replace the current unstable version and let it flow into
testing.

  Do you mean ./configure with --enable-hebrew? Anything else needed for
Hebrew support? Does it break in some way other languages?
A normal or wishlist bug should be filed against these packages. I'd
rather you submitting the bug reports because I don't use these
packages. Yet anyone can submit these reports. Do let me know if for
some reason you don't want to submit them.
  Were you trying to build the debs with --enable-hebrew? Note that I am
referring to building the debs, not only the binary. You can built them
in an insulated environment with the pbuilder package. Will you install
such debs for testing purposes if someone else will build them? A bug 
report saying that a deb with --enable-hebrew was built from source and
tested successfully is better then a report which doesn't have this
information.

and i checked and i do have it installed .. maybe i need to activate it ??

Then your quest can almost end now. Since Sid packages are probably 
compiled with Hebrew support already, it means that it's only a question 
of time until these packages make their way into stable. The big 
question at hand is, therefor, whether they will make it into sarge, or 
wait until the next one along.

I think you should contact the maintainers, tell them that a package 
they maintain has support for a certain feature in Sid but not in Sarge, 
and ask whether it will be possible to have the Sarge version have that 
feature as well.

 I agree that having Hebrew support come out of the box is desirable
and deserves all the work we can put into it.

For me (on Redhat 8.0), licq works very well with Hebrew, thanks to the
support in QT. It also worked well with Hebrew in one or two earlier versions,
for at least an year now..

So before you go complaining to the licq maintainer, please check that your
Debian does not include 2-year-old copies of QT or Licq. And use the QT or
KDE "plugins" of licq (I doubt that Hebrew support will work just as well
in the other plugins).
And make sure you have Hebrew keymap working (without it, you won't be able
to type any Hebrew, not in licq, not in mozilla, and not in most other
applications, but you will be able to see Hebrew.)

  It is my opinion that submitting bug reports, for example with the
reportbug utility, is better. 2 reasons for this are:

1. A bug report gets recorded in the BTS (== Bug Tracking System).
2. reportbug collects vital information for the evaluation of your bug.

And there are probably more.

  What version of Debian are you using? 
  
  What are the correct answers? 
  Hebrew support doesn't come out of the box because:
1. Debian does not have a recent enough version that have Hebrew
   builtin.
2. When compiling the package you configure it with additional
   switches which let you have Hebrew while Debian does not compile
   the package this way.
3. Anything else? Please elaborate.

  All these packages are taken up in the sense that there are already
Debian people who maintain them. In the case of these packages it might
be better to:

  1. Grab the debian source from a debian archive.
  2. Patch it with the additions you see fit.
  3. Make a new deb for local use.
  4. Test it.
  5. submit a wishlist bug for each package with the patches you made.

This would also help you become more familiar with the internals of the
Debian packaging system and introduce yourself to official debian
people since hopefully you will work a bit with the maintainers of the
packages you are submitting the wishlist bugs to. Do note that if the
problem is only the fact that the last upstream source is not debianized
yet then it would be solved automagically when the maintainers will 
debianized a newer tar ball.

Baruch Even is already doing very good work in this direction, and has
quite a number of Hebrew packages in Debian unstable, including hspell,
bidiv and culmus (to quote just a few I remember).

So you might want to contact him directly to reduce duplication of work.

http://www.debian.org, look for developer documentation. Lots and lots
of developer documentation.

Good initiative, you need to work with the upstream and debian
maintainers. Did you have a specific package in mind?
