Package Request: fcitx-googlepinyin

[kevinbogao]

Void Linux currently doesn't have any Chinese input method engine, so please consider adding the fcitx-googlepinyin package.

Is there any others you'd consider, seems upstream may be dead, last commit was in 2017

[kevinbogao]

There are other Chinese input engines for fcitx, but all of them seem to be in the same situation as googlepinyin unfortunately.

I had a hard time getting fcitx working. I have placed a pull request with ibus-libpinyin: #6423 up for review. I have been away and unable to make amends to that commit, it says it's closed. Not sure if it's merged.

@pobetiger it was merged, i just did the proposed changed manually then pushed.

@maxice8 Thank you. I can confirm that it can be installed from xbps-install now. I guess it takes a couple of days from merge to being in the repo. @kevinbogao, does ibus satisfy your requirement?

[kevinbogao]

Sorry for the delayed response, but yes, ibus works for me. Thank you very much!
