Changelog
ibus-libpinyin (1.16.5-4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload.
* debian/copyright: Refresh license information.
* debian/: Split the binary package:
+ ibus-libpinyin: Only enables the ibus-libpinyin input method
upon installation.
+ ibus-libbopomofo: Only enables the ibus-libbopomofo input method
upon installation.
+ ibus-libpinyin-common: Stores all common files shared between the
input methods.
The binary package splitting is necessary to properly fix the
input method enabling issue in mixed environments, such as Debian
Live system. This really closes: #1138753.
* debian/patches/0004-libpinyin.xml-Use-split-package-path.patch:
Add patch to support binary package splitting by redirecting the
input method discovery to a wrapper.
* debian/ibus-libpinyin-list-engines: Add the wrapper for dynamic
input method engine discovery.
* debian/split-engines.py: Add the build-time helper script to split
the input method availability XML dynamically..dsc
