The package in Debian can build directly in Ubuntu and works well. I am wondering if we don't really need a merge because I found there are some code in the previous patches already in mainstream and the package works well in our desktop. Also, I am sure there are issues about indicator support open on upstream issue tracker. What we are using from PPA (ppa:shawn-p-huang/ppa) is mostly build the package directly from source without any change, package in Debian adds the first of three patches ship in Ubuntu that adds the X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=ibus domain in .desktop file. The other two are about appindicator and show_menuitem which are somehow not easy for people who are not familiar with indicator-* to do the merge. ibus changes rapidly and indicator-* has changed, too. > -- > Benjamin Drung > Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Maintainer (www.debian.org) > -- Regards, Aron Xu -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
