Bug 650344 – app-i18n/fcitx-4.2.9.6: Introduce /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx.conf

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description augustin 2018-03-13 00:50:24 UTC]

As can be seen here:
http://linux.overshoot.tv/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/
input methods all create a file within  /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/.
This configuration file is used in particular by app-i18n/im-chooser.


The app-i18n/fcitx ebuild currently fails to create such a file.
A minimum file content could be:

$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx.conf
XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
XIM=fcitx
XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/fcitx                                                                                                                                                                    
XIM_ARGS="-d"
GTK_IM_MOUDLE=fcitx
QT_IM_MOUDLE=fcitx
SHORT_DESC="Fcitx

Check the other files created by other packages for more elaborate examples.

(Maybe filename will be "fcitx-4.conf" or something similar...)

[Comment 2 augustin 2018-03-13 01:23:34 UTC]

Will app-i18n/fcitx be slotted so that version 4 and version 5 can be installed in parallel?
The other input methods do not append the major version number to the .conf files.

[Comment 3 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-03-13 01:49:07 UTC]

All parts of Fcitx 4 have SLOT="4".
All parts of Fcitx 5 will have SLOT="5".
(Except kcm-fcitx which has SLOT="${Fcitx_major_version}-plasma${Plasma_major_version}".)

Ok. Nice! :)
