Hello the authors of ibus-libpinyin , I'm using ibus-libpinyin on fedora 42 . I found ibus-libpinyin provides both pinyin Chinese IME and bopomofo Chinese IME . Could you please consider split ibus-libpinyin into ibus-libpinyin and ibus-libbopomofo ? The reason is that those who use pinyin IME doesn't know bopomofo IME at all , and vice verse those who use bopomofo IME doesn't know pinyin IME neither . So I can install only the package which I use . Why must combine pinyin IME and bopomofo IME into one single package ? Most hope there is no unnecessary codes in their computers . Hope ibus-libpinyin more modularized and more divided ! Thanks for your time and consideration! Best regards, Tingrong Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf install ibus-libpinyin 2. ibus-setup 3. will see there are both pinyin Chinese IME and bopomofo Chinese IME Actual Results: one single package -- ibus-libpinyin provides more than one IME . Expected Results: one package provides only one IME .

I guess most libpinyin users don't need "libbopomofo" so maybe it makes sense to split the xml file and subpackage bopomofo?
