Description Haowen Liu 2024-11-04 17:10:03 UTC
fcitx is commonly used with KDE so shipping a breeze theme officially would make sense, I think.

> theme missing from official repo
Presumably, this is about fcitx5-breeze which I was able to find on repology: https://repology.org/project/fcitx5-breeze/versions

> outdated in gentoo-zh
Presumably, the current version is 3.1.0 per $URL, although no other distribution seems to have that yet. What version does gentoo-zh have available?

Please add a bit more information on your next bug.

Yes. That's what I'm referring to.

gentoo-zh has 2.0.0 packaged.

Yeah my bad. Will do.


It seems fairly common for other distributions to ship this pre-installed in their KDE variants, because without this theme fcitx looks fairly out of place with the rest of the KDE system. I would be open to packaging this myself and submitting that, and honestly the simplicity of a theme might even be a really good place to start. That all, provided that Gentoo is open to including it, of course

I've dumped the package in gentoo-zh for reference. 
I only use the default theme, so I have no plans to maintain it in the long run.
Comment 4 yongxiang 2024-11-08 14:36:22 UTC
If kcm use is enabled for fcitx-configtool, then you can also use the Fcitx 5 Plasma Theme.

Comment 5 Haowen Liu 2024-11-08 23:25:24 UTC
Thank you for updating the version available in gentoo-zh! I would be open to maintaining fcitx-breeze if that's the blocker for its inclusion in main gentoo repo, or even just GURU.

I have experience packaging debian packages. And reading through ebuild guides and EAPI references, I believe keeping this package up-to-date will be within my reach.
