[Availability]
* Available in universe
[Rationale]
* This package is required by unity8
[Security]
* No known security issues at this time.
[Quality assurance]
* This package has unit tests and autopilot tests.
[Dependencies]
Missing dependencies:
* fonts-droid-fallback -- There's a branch currently landing that adds fonts-noto as an optional replacement for this (fonts-noto isn't a suitable replacement on phone platforms though, as it requires significantly more space on the image): https://code.launchpad.net/~michael-sheldon/ubuntu-keyboard/optional-fonts-noto-dependency/+merge/303156
* libpinyin7 -- MIR: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpinyin/+bug/1613053
* maliit-framework/libmaliit-plugins0 -- MIR: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maliit-framework/+bug/1613267
* gles variants of libqt5gui5-gles, libqt5quick5-gles and qml-module-ubuntu-components-gles (the non-gles variants are already in main and are the first choice for these dependencies)
The only other missing dependencies are for the ubuntu-keyboard-autopilot package, I'm unclear on if these are needed, since the autopilot package itself isn't needed by anything in main?
[Standards compliance]
* This package uses qmake and is fully translatable.
[Maintenance]
* This package is maintained by Canonical and actively in use on the phone and tablet images
Blockers:
- I can't get the tests to run in yakkety?
python3 -m flake8.run .
/usr/bin/python3: No module named flake8.run
Non blockers:
- It would be nice to fix the qml plugin package name to use qml-module- instead of the deprecated qtdeclarative5- name.
- ubuntu-
- ubuntu-
- ubuntu-
- The dh_auto_test override does not check for "nocheck" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and skip tests if it's present. Made it slightly more work to finish a build despite failing tests.
- Maliit wants binary plugins in /usr/share... seems like an odd design (instead of /usr/lib). Nothing ubuntu-keyboard can change though.
- There are lots of bugs! But I know this is a work in progress and this MIR is in order to slowly phase it in on Desktop, not do a whole-sale replacement yet.
