Package: task-telugu-desktop Severity: normal Version: 3.76 X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org debian-input-met...@lists.debian.org
(Sorry to those unrelated on -devel; I cannot find a proper mailing list for Telugu/Indian users/developers on lists.debian.org, thus using debian-devel as the fallback. If there are any better places for such discussion, please let me know.) Hi all, As shown on https://packages.debian.org/unstable/task-telugu-desktop , tasksel tries to install the fcitx(4) input method to provide Telugu input support. However, (with my Debian Input Method Team member hat on) the fcitx 4.x branch is in maintenance-only mode and is not encouraged to use due to the lack of Wayland support. I am proposing to replace these dependencies with package fcitx5 and fcitx5-m17n to provide the equivalent functionality by fcitx 5.x. Before such replacement actually happens, I am looking for Debian Telugu users and developers to actually test fcitx5 support for Telugu input on Debian Testing/Unstable, and please let me know if anything unexpected will happen if fcitx5 becomes the default input method provider for Debian 13 installation. Thanks, Boyuan Yang P.S. I noticed this issue when examining the default package installation of Debian's weekly-live-build images [1]. Some unexpected packages are being installed on the built image, such as KDE systemsettings on the GNOME Live ISO [2]. That is a different topic and will be handled separately. i live-task-gnome Recommends calamares-settings-debian i A calamares-settings-debian Depends calamares i A calamares Depends libkf5parts5 (>= 4.96.0) i A libkf5parts5 Depends kio i A kio Recommends systemsettings [1] https://get.debian.org/images/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/ [2] https://bugs.debian.org/1083199
