Code cleanup

[jrom99]

Shouldn't the debian directory be removed since it's out of sync with the downstream one? If possible, I want to help porting ibus-anthy to GTK4 and dropping support for Python2 as its EOL.

System information

System information: GNOME 45 (Wayland) on Ubuntu 23.10

IBus version: 1.5.29-rc1

ibus-anthy version: 1.5.15

I'm fine with your suggestions.
I hardly get time to implement the suggestions for a while but I can reviews the pull requests.

Actually Python2 means EOSL but I'm fine with the issue subject.

Thanks for the reply, I'd like to ask it its better to clone this repository or the other one (https://github.com/fujiwarat/ibus-anthy)?

Right. the development tree is fujiwarat/ibus-anthy and you could create a pull request for it but issues are filed in ibus/ibus-anthy as fujiwarat/ibus-anthy will be merged to ibus/ibus-anthy at the new release.

Hello, I'm having trouble building the program, on an Ubuntu 23.10 virtual machine, I did the following:

• apt install ibus kasumi anthy
• apt install autoconf autopoint gettext pkg-config
• autoupdate # to update configure.ac
• ./autogen.sh --with-python=python3

But the building is failing with:

configure: error: Package requirements (anthy) were not met:

Package 'anthy', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ANTHY_CFLAGS
and ANTHY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
