Right. This was added in 1.4.7-2. The previous Debian versions didn't have it because when im-switch settings were first added, scim-qtimm package didn't exist. Then there was etch release. It probably should have been added immediately after etch release, I just forgot about it. > I will be glad to remove the scim-kmfl im-switch file from the > scim-imengine package since scim-immodule now covers all of kmfl's > needs. Good to hear. > And I will use the debconf question to offer to set im-switch to > scim-immodule if you think that would be acceptable. I have absolutely no problem with that. Im-switch setting, being a part of the alternative system, is always for system admin to change. And debconf question is a good way to do that. I am curious about how you are going to set im-switch though. Are you going to set them just for several specific languages? Or are you going to set the all_ALL (pseudo-)locale setting? Or is there another way to set it for all languages that I don't know? > Thanks Ming for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated. You are very welcome.
