The changes look a bit too big for this point of edgy's development. apt does not reveal any reverse depends. ZengPeng, could you perhaps give us some sort of risk analyses? This package seems to be to provide a dynamic library, which is loaded by other apps.

Honestly, I have no idea about scim. Currently, I have the impression that this update has the potential to break in a lot of situations. Do you have arguments to weaken this impressions, like, how much testing your updated package has received?

This package is for guys wanna use scim, maybe say alternate. In
ubuntu, we now use scim-gtk-immodule and scim-qtimm as immodule for
scim, but because of the C++ ABI issue, they have some problems, such
as 3rd packages like acrabat reader, skype,etc. So, there will has not
any risk using this package, many chinese are like scim-bridge,
because it can make them use scim more smoothly. as to the big changes
between this release and the one exist in ubuntu now, it add the qt
client, which can replace scim-qtimm. Actrually, I'd upgrade this
package when the author release 0.4.1, but there has some License
issue, so I poked the author, and now upsrteam was released under dual
license, so can I upgrade to the latest. Also from 0.2.7, upstream
author has done many improvement too, now it become more stable.

It will not break anything. 1. we have tested it months, and haven't
found any critical bugs. 2.
it's in universe, will not be installed defaultly.

I share Reinhard's view - although the changelog mentions a good bunch of fixes, we should have got this in earlier. There are now 10 days left until release.

ZhengPeng, can you make sure you and the cjk-testers team are default subscribers for the scim packages?

Andrew, Sebastian, what do you think?

The changelog seems to detail mostly fixes from a quick glance - we wouldn't have much time to back out the change before release though. If it goes in, it should really go in in the next day or two. I'd give it a tentative +1

Action wasn't taken on this in time for Edgy, so it will have to happen early in Feisty.

There is 0.4.8-0ubuntu2 in Feisty.
