Package: kbd
Version: 1.14.1
The loadkeys program in the kbd package ignores the KDSKBDIACRUC ioctl in
current kernels (and so does the console-tools flavor, as far as i can tell).
That means even though I can set both my display and my keyboard into UTF-8
mode and I can display all of the Latin2 characters (for example) if I have
them in my console font, there's no way to enter them on a plain US keyboard
other than with AltGr + keypad, not quite a user-friendly method.
Enclosed find a trivial C program (tested) using this ioctl to load a
compose table with circa 200 entries, and a data file I use with it.

Closes: 399531 524057 524907 528357 532139 533065
Changes:
kbd (1.15-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Switch (back) to quilt, see debian/README.source. TopGit is used to
manage the patches on top of Git.
* Revert the old read_keymaps_fmt patch to loadkeys/dumpkeys (auto-converts
between K(KTYP, KVAL) and Unicode keysyms depending on the console mode)
and replace it with a new one which has been merged upstream. See #251550
for an earlier discussion, closes: #524057.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2.
* Support Unicode compose tables, closes: #524907.
* Save cat-id-tbl.c, analyze.c, loadkeys.c when building and restore them in
debian/rules clean.
* showconsolefont: Print adequate space chars, closes: #528357. On recent
kernels a direct-to-font space is needed if the console is in Unicode
mode.
* console-screen.kbd.sh: Slightly rephrase evals to avoid quirks in Vim’s
syntax highlighting. Remove the “kill -NAL” XSI-ism and replace it with
“kill -s NAL”.
* console-screen.kbd.sh: Mention console-setup when font setup is deferred,
closes: #532139.
* Update the information regarding hardwired scancode ranges in the
setkeycodes(8) manpage, closes: #399531. They don’t exist in recent
kernels.
* Replace “-” (hyphen) by “\-” (ASCII minus sign) in some manpages where
command line options are mentioned.
* Add support for Brl_dot9 and Brl_dot10, closes: #533065. These keysyms
are supported by Linux >= 2.6.23. Thanks to Samuel Thibault
<[email protected]> for the patch.
