Arch Linux User Repository

Fantastic! Thank you so much for getting this up and running! For whatever reason I had to make some small changes to the PKGBUILD for the sake of a meson.build file that had a bunch of issues with relative filepaths. In the prepare(), I added:

# Patch the Meson build file for docs
    sed -i \
        -e "s|'../include/keyman/keyman_core_api.h'|'../../include/keyman/keyman_core_api.h'|" \
        -e "s|'../src/jsonpp.hpp'|'../../src/jsonpp.hpp'|" \
        -e "s|'../../common/cpp/utfcodec.hpp'|'../../../common/cpp/utfcodec.cpp'|" \
        -e "s|--conf-file=doc/hotdoc.json|--conf-file=docs/internal/hotdoc.json|" \
        -e "s|--output=doc|--output=docs/internal/html|" \
        ../core/docs/internal/meson.build

Everything else worked smoothly. I did also need to use specifically the ubuntu url as well for the gpg command, but that was very minor and may be down to my system specifically:

gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C8E614F58F1B65E0 

Thanks again, we super appreciate it!

Post-install manual: Running Keyman for Linux

Perhaps the sed command that glottophilos commented should be added to the PKGBUILD. It did not work for me until It was manually added. Is there a reason why it is not included by default?

Hi, I created a split package version for it so fcitx user doesn't need to install ibus.

Some additional fixes: 1. Missing dependency found by namcap 2. Split License for keyman & ibus-keyman 3. use /usr/lib instead of /usr/libexec to follow the Arch's guideline. 4. Remove werror in meson which make the compilation fail on my system.

It's slightly 5000 character so I put it on gist, FYI: https://gist.github.com/wengxt/811543a7cd5b77907158a709159902b9

Keyman was updated to v18, and it should support Wayland and X11 now.

Do not forget to add PGP key:

gpg --recv-keys C8E614F58F1B65E0

Deep thanks to @glottophilos for helping me update the package.

v18.0.235

Tests

Plasma, X11 and Wayland

• TEST_IPA_WRITER: pass
• TEST_IPA_GEDIT: pass
• TEST_KO_WRITER: pass
• TEST_KO_GEDIT: fail
• TEST_KM_WRITER: pass
• TEST_KM_GEDIT: pass
• TEST_CONTEXT: pass

The new version works almost perfectly (the gedit's bug to be submitted). I will wait for one week, and if no issues are reported by other users, I will roll out the updated PKGBUILD.

A draft of a new Keyman v18. First dirty build.

• X11 + IBus: works
• km-config: works
• Wayland: works
• DBus service: works
• Fcitx: not tested

I'll check it tomorrow. Could you post, please, your PKGBUILD here? It will help me to update the building scripts.

Is there any chance we could get this updated to reflect the most recent stable release version which includes Wayland support (v17+)? I have created my own modified PKGBUILD which does a fairly decent job and seems to get all the bits installed, but doesn't properly integrate IBus and Keyman, apparently. If someone who is more proficient than myself could take a look at it, that would be preferable. EDIT: Found the issue, created working PKGBUILD for v17.0.335
