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

Part 2 -- in general you'll notice that I wasn't too concerned with a long-term fix for certain issues given that I was just trying to get it up and running, but hopefully this still helps with identifying problem spots:

@glottophilos

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

glottophilos commented on 2025-04-22 21:15 (UTC) (edited on 2025-04-26 18:22 (UTC) by glottophilos)

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

Vitrum-cnkj34kr8 commented on 2023-12-07 09:41 (UTC)

@csslayer Yeah, it's reasonable, but till the end of February I don't have much time for it. Maybe some time later I will do it.

csslayer commented on 2023-12-07 05:49 (UTC)

Would you mind make this package a split package that contains keyman's library and ibus-keyman?

Fcitx5 also has keyman support https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5-keyman/ but I don't want to pull in ibus as dependency when building fcitx5-keyman. Thanks!

@zoidberg

Done.

zoidberg commented on 2023-10-28 14:59 (UTC)

Could you please add python-installer to the makedepends?
