In his patch Tollef implemented another solution: there is a new field, say ReturnValues for instance, which contains the returned value in the same order as in Choices: Choices: Canada, Spain ReturnValues: ca, es I much prefer your solution by a special formatting in the Choices field to set return values. Anyway the first step is to file a wishlist bugreport against debconf. Please note that I intentionally display country codes because this is the only way to have a sorted list whatever language is used. > Alternatively we could implement a lookup in the code to translate > "Canada" -> "ca", if necessary. > > My patch is orthogonal to that; I retrieve the countrycode from debconf > in kbd-chooser to pick a default keymap; (presumably it is also used > elsewhere). It is easier to work with if it is upper case. Agreed. Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
