Salix Input Method Installer

[tsuren]

I have modified Salix codecs installer from gapan so that we can have something similar for the input method engine (i.e. Ibus and co). As lib sizes of dependencies and required dictionaries for CJK and other non-Latin languages are rather big, and as it is, strictly speaking, optional to those who need the functionality, I think this might provide a solution to keep the ISO size down.

You can find the package here.

Please test it, and let me your comments, and perhaps it is still not too late for the KDE edition.

Many thanks

Excellent idea!

I need a little help here. I know i am rubbish at writing codes, but your help would be appreciated. Could anyone tell me what is wrong with the following codes?

Many thanks

Appears to complete successfully in 13.37 Ratpoison, though it doesn't give me any options except to delete itself after it's finished. I'm not sure where it's put anything - not in Ratpoison's menu, as far as I can see. Anyway, I suppose all the stuff was here already - somewhere or other. The main point is, it didn't crash, and exited just like the codecs installer.

[tsuren]

I am working on giving more options. (see the codes above) Just it is still not working properly! Yet...

[tsuren]

OK. The script is fixed now. And it is running fine.

You can find the new version here!

Here are some screenshots:







I am thinking of replacing anthy with mozc in the future.

Please test it, and let me your comments, and perhaps it is still not too late for the KDE edition.
Many thanks

tsuren, i have build a new KDE 32 bit cd with pyxdg,ibus-qt,icu which is 671 MB. So there is no problem with KDE.
If i understood well what you mean saying " and perhaps it is still not too late for the KDE edition"
