Everyone says ibus for wheezy, so that is the one.
- ibus-hangul (korean)
- ibus-pinyin (chinese)
- ibus-anthy (japanese)
- ibus-gtk (is this one needed?)

Removing all SCIM components and installing these ibus packages works on a running Tails 0.21 system (squeeze). I will proceed with trying to build a test ISO with these changes.

Awesome news :) Personally, I would base this work on the feature/wheezy branch.

It’s best if I can switch both squeeze and wheezy to IBus right? That is my intention. That won’t make releasing wheezy harder right?

I am going to assume “scim-uim” wasn’t used for anything, and not find any replacement in ibus, unless someone tells me otherwise. The commit log there it was added stated it was needed for chinese language support, but I can find no other source that support this claim. Pinyin appears to be all that is needed for all chinese input needs.

Unrelated, wheezy may need “ibus-gtk3” and/or “ibus-clutter” too.

This is fixed in “bugfix/ibus-wheezy” in my repo “winterfairy/tails”.

Fixing this in squeeze will be tracked in Bug #6206, as that is to fix that bug.
