[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#587296: ibus: Easier configuratio than im-switch

[Osamu Aoki]

Package: ibus
Version: 1.3.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello from im-switch maintainer.  I noticed you just added im-switch
support.  Thanks.

I just created new im-switch replaement called im-config which works
much more cleanly than im-switch.  No more scratching head with
complicated symlinks.   This also off loads you from hook script
postinst etc.

It is just uploaded to unstable.  If it is accepted, please consider to
change your package control file to:

Recommends: im-config | im-switch, ibus-gtk | ibus-qt4

This way, fresh install recommends im-config instead of im-switch.

If things go well, I deam a day when we remove all kludges for im-switch
and drop its menion in Recommends.

If you have feature request on im-config, please file bug report.

Releasing squeeze with ibus+im-config makes configuration easiest and
cleanliest.

Osamu
