console-setup (1.16ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Use keymapper to generate decision trees for a restricted subset of
the pc105 model.
- If the detect-keyboard debconf plugin is available
(cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in the installer), then offer to use it to
detect the keyboard layout.
- Only default to Canadian layout for fr_CA; use U.S. English for other
*_CA locales.
- Set default charmap for d-i to UTF-8.
- Remove unhelpful defaults for several questions.
- Allow preseeding of console-setup/modelcode, console-setup/layoutcode,
console-setup/variantcode, console-setup/optionscode, and
console-setup/fontsize.
- Reset console-setup/toggle to the default if it's set to "No toggling"
and you select a non-Latin layout.
- Change the default font from Terminus to VGA where supported.
- Add a few bits of installer integration to console-setup-udeb borrowed
from kbd-chooser.
- console-setup Depends: perl; something in ckbcomp is causing perl to
'use utf8' implicitly, and some of the necessary modules aren't in
perl-base.
- Run kbd_mode on each tty in ACTIVE_CONSOLES rather than on the current
tty, since the current tty might belong to X and changing X's tty out
of raw mode is a very bad idea.
- Automatically save the font and keymap to /etc in
/etc/init.d/console-setup if it isn't being run from init. Similarly,
ensure that the font and keymap are saved to /etc during initial
installation.
- Disable workaround in ckbcomp for the kernel not applying Caps Lock to
non-ASCII letters, except for Turkish layouts; the cure is worse than
the disease because it makes Caps Lock equivalent to Shift Lock.
- Use 'setupcon --save-only' to make sure the font is available on the
root filesystem for the next boot but not to load it immediately,
avoiding console manipulation when X or usplash is running.
- Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible.
- Set default variant for French to oss.
- Fix handling of commas in layout and variant names.
- Fix keymap reduction not to try to express keymap A in terms of keymap
B when B includes keys not mapped by A.
- debian/config.proto: Set sparc default model to pc105.
- debian/control: Remove outdated note about loadkeys in
console-setup-udeb's description.
* Allow kbd's initramfs hook as an alternative to that provided by
console-tools.
* Don't run 'setupcon -k' from rcS if usplash is running, as that means
the console will be in raw mode and loadkeys will do confusing things to
the keymap (LP: #84156).
console-setup (1.16) unstable; urgency=low
* Update ckbconf with the most recent list of xkeysyms.
* Thanks to Colin Watson and Ubuntu team for the many bugs and
improvements fixed in this release. Patches were provided by Colin
Watson:
- Do not sorce the debconf library in the middle of the postinst,
closes: #420831.
- Remove from the source package several directories
debian/UDEB-PACKAGE-NAME. (The udebs were removed from
debian/control before running the clean target.) Closes: #420912.
- Map fr_CH locale to Swiss French default keyboard
layout in config.proto. Closes: #420828.
- Pass xkbdir variable on the make-command line, because else its
value is overriden and the keymap definitions in Keyboard/ckb are
used. Closes: #420827.
- A new option --save-only for setupcon.
- Ship KeyboardNames.pl and kbdnames-maker. Closes: #420914.
- Fix Esperanto locale check in config.proto, closes: #420785. Make
'epo' the default layout for Esperanto.
- The Bosnian layout is 'ba', not 'bs'. Closes: #420787.
- The layout variant is 'deva', not 'dev'. Closes: #420797.
- Do not leave empty default codeset for unsupported locales.
Closes: #420802.
- Use 'jp(latin)' instead of 'us' in the Latin mode of Japanese
keyboards. Override the keyboard model if it was chosen by default
and the layout is Japanese or Brasilian. Closes: #420824.
- Add --save-only option to setupcon. Closes: #420832.
- Multiply the Installer-Menu-Item field of the udebs by 100.
Closes: #421260.
- By default do not use AltGr with basic US keyboard. Closes: #421263.
- Make sure amiga, ataritt, sun4 and sun5 are in KeyboardNames.pl even
if they are not in the xml database. Closes: #420821.
- Talk about 'national' instead of 'non-Latin' mode in the templates.
Treat the Lithuanian keyboard as a two-mode keyboard similarly to
the Serbian keyboard. Closes: #421261.
* Do not ignore the Control+ and Alt+non_symbol_key combinations.
Thanks to Karsten Hilbert, closes: #421796.
* Two additions to the FAQ:
- Add a suggestion for the VBERestore option. Thanks to Dmitry
Semyonov, closes: #402143.
- Document CapsLock working as ShiftLock in Unicode mode.
* Added manual page for setupcon. Thanks to Vassilis Pandis,
closes: #405005.
* Added Dutch translation. Thanks to Bart Cornelis, closes: #415518.
* Updated Bulgarian translation.
