1. emerge --sync
2. emerge -auvDN app-i18n/ibus-table-cantonese
Actual Results:  
Fails to build

Patch for cantonese.txt file

Don't know if this is a good fix but it does allow it to build.

Extended patch to build cantonese.db cantohk.db

Building cantohk.db fails in a similar manner, here is the extended patch...

have you report this upstream? It seems that this ebuild is quite out-dated, and there is no source tarball provided in upstream release

Ok, I've tried that patch, it works here.

[Comment 6 Naohiro Aota 2012-08-28 07:13:43 UTC]

I think this package can be replaced by app-i18n/ibus-table-chinese
Could you try that?

[Comment 7 Yixun Lan 2012-08-31 08:32:08 UTC]

hi, naota, you right app-i18n/ibus-table-cantonese already include by  app-i18n/ibus-table-chinese

so why not deprecate/lastrite app-i18n/ibus-table-cantonese??

[Comment 8 Christophe Paccolat 2012-09-04 13:06:47 UTC]

Indeed. The ibus-table-cantonese can be deprecated or at least block ibus-table-chinese due to file collision:

* app-i18n/ibus-table-cantonese-1.2.0.20100305-r1
 * 	/usr/share/ibus-table/icons/cantonese.png
 * 	/usr/share/ibus-table/icons/cantonhk.png
 * 	/usr/share/ibus-table/icons/jyutping.png
 * 	/usr/share/ibus-table/tables/cantonese.db
 * 	/usr/share/ibus-table/tables/cantonhk.db
 * 	/usr/share/ibus-table/tables/jyutping.db

Because we lack human resources, especially we lack developers who are using chinese input method. I'd appreciate if anyone can test the packages and help us maintaining them.

Anyway, I've just masked packages which are replaced by ibus-table-chinese.
