Fedora 34 Change: kasumi-unicode (Self-Contained Change)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/kasumi_unicode
== Summary ==
kasumi-unicode will be generated newly with kasumi.spec in
[https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kasumi kasumi] project.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Fujiwara|Takao Fujiwara]]
* Email: fujiwara [at] redhat [dot] com
== Detailed Description ==
[https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/anthy-unicode anthy-unicode] has
been forked from [https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/anthy anthy]
since anthy was no longer maintained in upstream.
[https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kasumi kasumi] is one of the
applications which link to the libraries of anthy. In case kasumi
links to anthy, the private dictionary is located in `$HOME/.anthy`
directory. In case kasumi links to anthy-unicode, the private
dictionary is located at `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/anthy`.
I wish kasumi links to anthy-unicode newly but some other applications
still use anthy.
E.g. ibus-anthy uses anthy-unicode and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/anthy`.
fcitx-anthy, scim-anthy, uim-anthy, gcim-anthy uses anthy and
`$HOME/.anthy`.
To keep the back compatibility while *-anthy will migrate to use
anthy-unicode, kasumi.spec is going to generate kasumi twice to
generate two kasumi binaries with different CFLAGS and LDFLAGS between
anthy and anthy-unicode.
kasumi-unicode will be generated to link to anthy-unicode.
anthy-unicode enhances anthy for:
# internal data EUC-JP to UTF-8
# user dic in $HOME/.anthy to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/anthy
== Benefit to Fedora ==
anthy-unicode saves the user dictionaries in the Freedesktop
configuration directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Contributers can develop anthy-unicode with UTF-8 words internally.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
* Other developers: [[AkiraTagoh]] (Fedora maintaier of kasumi)
* Release engineering: N/A
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
ibus-anthy will depend on anthy-unicode and kasumi-unicode instead of kasumi.
== How To Test ==
# Enable ibus-anthy in your desktop
# Run /usr/libexec/ibus-setup-anthy
# Run kasumi-unicode from "Dictionary" tab in the dialog
# Register some words with kasumi-unicode
The user dictionary is saved in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/anthy and ibus-anthy
can use it.
== User Experience ==
Users will run `anthy-unicode-dic-tool --migrate` in case that users
need to migrate the user dictionary in $HOME/.anthy with one in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/anthy.
== Dependencies ==
ibus-anthy
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Revert the change of kasumi.spec and
ibus-anthy will depends on kasumi.
* Contingency deadline: Beta freeze
* Blocks release? No
* Blocks product? No
