Bug ID: 1471924
Summary: Request for enhancement fcitx-anthy package
Product: Fedora EPEL
Version: epel7
Component: fcitx
Assignee: liangsuilong(a)gmail.com
Reporter: scottro11(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i(a)cicku.me,

Description of problem:
There is no fcitx-anthy package. It seems that fcitx is being more developed
than ibus, and, even when I build from source, it is easier to use. Fedora has
had it available since F19 or F20, and it would be nice to have in RHEL7
Additional info:
For me (and possibly others) ibus is becoming increasingly problematic, whereas
on every other major Linux distribution, as well as FreeBSD, fcitx-anthy and
fcitx-mozc are available as packages.

I should add that I've gotten the Fedora-20 to work with the fcitx that's
available in the repos, which I found here.
http://apt.declera.com/f20/os/x86_64/os/Packages/f/fcitx-anthy-0.2.0-2.fc...
So maybe rebuilding it for CentOS-7 wouldn't be that hard. (He says, knowing
little more than running rpm -ba whatever.spec.

Addition of fcitx-anthy would benefit many users (including myself, a native
Japanese). :-)

If it helps, here are links to the srpm and the rpm that I built with its spec
file. (I made no alternations to the spec).

Addition of fcitx-anthy would benefit many users (including myself, a
native
Japanese). :-)
What is the benefit?
I think ibus-anthy is the best way.

What is the benefit?
I think ibus-anthy is the best way.
For me, as well as others, ibus has become increasingly problematic. In one
case, I had to use a script to shift between English and Japanese with keyboard
shortcuts.
In addition, it seems as if ibus development has either slowed, or stopped
completely, though I'm not positive about that.

Shift modifiers is not recommended in GTK but not IBus only.

completely, though I'm not positive about that.
I don't understand it.

Regardless, I'm just asking for a package to be added that better fits my use
case, that I find easier to use. :) Please don't take it as an anti-ibus
thing, I'm just asking that fcitx-anthy be added.

So you don't have a clear reason but asked a new package for EPEL.
It's my point why I asked.

I feel that you are making this into an argument. I see no point in criticizing
a package if I don't need to use it, but as mentioned in the original request,
ibus frequently doesn't work properly for me.
So, that's my reason. I dislike ibus, it requires far more effort, for my
circumstances, to get it to work properly. If you feel that's not valid,
that's fine, but for me, at least, and, though my evidence is only anecdotal,
for others, it has become problematic and fcitx does a better job.

I don't mind whether you request fcitx.
But if you say ibus does not work properly, I'd look at what ibus does not work
for you.
Regarding to the Shift modifiers, seems your usage does not meet the GTK
behavior.
And I wonder if you have a subscription of RHEL, you could ask an RFE.

I don't have a RedHat subscription.
I most often use Japanese in a urxvt or st xterminal,though I do make use of it
in GTK apps at times.
I did work around issues with ibus for awhile, but I'd prefer to not have to do
so. It does seem that if one uses Gnome, or other full desktop environment,
they're less likely to run into issues, but I prefer openbox or dwm.
I suspect that as Fedora already has fcitx-anthy it will eventually make its
way into RHEL, but I'm just trying to expedite it.

OK and then your request is still low priority.
I most often use Japanese in a urxvt or st xterminal,though I do make
use of
it in GTK apps at times.
ibus-setup is made by GTK and the shortcut key settings is one time only rather
than the terminal applications.
Now I wonder if you understand CLI supports the Shift modifiers without using
ibus-setup.
I did work around issues with ibus for awhile, but I'd prefer to
not have to
do so. It does seem that if one uses Gnome, or other full desktop
environment, they're less likely to run into issues, but I prefer openbox or
dwm.
ibus fully supports the desktops. Seems you don't have clear reasons when you
say ibus does not work for you.
I suspect that as Fedora already has fcitx-anthy it will eventually
make its
way into RHEL, but I'm just trying to expedite it.
It's fine but I just wonder why you try to use fcitx in RHEL without
subscriptions.
For me, it's easier to setup Shift modifiers with CLI than installing other IM
frameworks.
It's up to you but if you have the problems in ibus, I'd understand them with
detail.

There are certainly times when ibus has worked perfectly for me. If I did a
fresh install and put in ibus, 9 times out of 10, it should work the way I want
it to.
This bug, though, is for adding fcitx. It's a bit like (in the old days)
saying we have pine, why do we need mutt?
I, and just about anyone who has used RH or CentOS for Japanese input,
certainly appreciate the hard work that has been done with ibus-anthy. I've
said problematic "for me", and also qualified that with at times. :)
With all due respect, whether ibus works or doesn't isn't that relevant to this
bug report. Yes, it usually works very well, but I prefer fcitx. As someone
once said in an old pine mutt debate, people pull up all sorts of technical
reasons to justify what is, in the end, an emotional decision. So, though I'm
not a subscriber and therefore am low priority, I have followed procedure and
requested a package that I want. Other packages that accomplish the same thing
are not really relevant to the discussion.
I certainly am grateful for your work on ibus which has enabled me to easily
input Japanese on CentOS for many years.

Sounds good.
Thank you for the discussion.
