Re: status of IBus integration into 13.1

Hi, friends,

You mean, when you lock screen and input password to get back, the input field
just shows the password itself instead of "********", is that the case?

If so...you don't need anyone to confirm. it is a security flaw.

I'm now taking a look of the commit you mentioned. maybe later I'll
start monkey coding again...

And I suggest we just submit the fix directly to factory and ask coolo
to copy it (RC2 will be released on Thursday next week, any _leaf_ SR
before Monday will be in)

I'm afraid...*buntu + IBus will be everyone's worst nightmare forever.

1. *buntu didn't test as much as we do...they just see if their
artwork works by raw eyes. They can't even do GNOME well.

2. IBus itself has been Fedora oriented or even Chrome OS oriented for
a long time. RH people put too much hope on it.

3. And IBus maintainer for U doesn't even have time to care it. He now
has been hired by Canonical full-time (Although he just went to
university), working as a...well..."commercial support staff for
fcitx" for "Ubuntu kylin", but most of the times he's working on
"rejecting Unity crap C people made" to "guard free software
territory" to "prevent those bad commits from ruining upstream
libraries".

So as I said a long time ago...man, you made a wrong comparison: In
cases involving IBus, we should follow Fedora instead of Ubuntu...you
could just ignore feedbacks from Ubuntu...actually Ubuntu itself has
been deteriorating rapidly...most of its problems don't even exist on
other distributions...



PS: can you please update
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features ? add a paragraph that
we have been migrating to IBus 1.5 together with GNOME 3.10, and
mention all the efforts you have made...I don't know exactly what you
did...
