console-setup (1.248ubuntu1) stonking; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2153292). Remaining changes:
- debian/clean: Delete Keyboard/tree-keymaps/ on clean
- Add an apport hook
- debian/control: Build depend on keymapper
- Make COPYRIGHT a symlink to debian/copyright
- debian/vtrgb, debian/vtrgb.vga,
debian/console-setup-linux.setvtrgb.service, debian/rules,
debian/console-setup-linux.{postinst, prerm}: use Ubuntu's virtual
terminal color scheme by default, with a VGA color scheme available
as an alternative.
- Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible and sensible
- Include pc105.tree for ubiquity
- Add Keyboard/Makefile rule to build pc105.tree
- Keyboard/keymaptree tool to analyze key maps
- Keyboard/Makefile: make sure KeyboardNames.pl is built with accurate data
from xkb-data.
- Generate a locale locally for translating keyboard names in
kbdnames-maker.
- Make sure we give a meaningful name to ch layouts: "Switzerland"
instead of "German (Switzerland), since it includes French too."
- xmlreader: Added model entry to skip model selection
- Do not set default FONTFACE or FONTSIZE for Lat15, kernel has built-in
Terminus font, at multitiple sizes, and it correctly selects low/high
dpi font size, based on screen resolution. (LP 1880266)
- If the locale is C during configuration, only set CHARMAP to
ISO-8859-15 on kFreeBSD; otherwise restore the previous behaviour
from before the kFreeBSD port of using UTF-8 in that case.
- Handle unattended upgrades without breaking plymouth when updating
console fonts.
- setupcon:
+ Explicitly exit 0, so that postinsts don't fail in the event that
loadkeys can't find a console.
+ Map XKBMODEL=SKIP to '' for compatibility with existing
configs.
+ handle compressed console maps and font files
+ the system should not have to resolve filenames to find the keymap
cache on boot.
- Added templates for keyboard detection
- debian/keyboard-configuration.config:
+ Map ppc64el/* to XKBMODEL=pc105
+ Set default for Dutch to us(intl), not just us.
+ Set default layout for Kurdish to tr(ku)
+ Set default layout for Vietnam to 'us'
+ change back the french default layout to be fr+oss and not fr+latin9
+ Drop the xkb-keymap bits once again as we're not ready for those yet,
as it's currently causing an invalid default layout in the installer.
+ keyboard-configuration.{config,templates}: There is no good default
for layout toggling, stop pretending there is. Console users can set
one with dpkg-reconfigure or editing /etc/defaults/keyboard
+ nicola_f_bs quirk
+ quirk for Montenegro
+ While sourcing config files to re-seed debconf,
treat missing XKBOPTIONS as empty. (LP 1762952)
+ 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.
+ Fix default keyboard selection for language/country combinations lacking
a proper combined locale (LP 814448).
* Dropped changes, included in Debian:
- Keyboard/kbdcompiler: Fix checking ckbcomp success.
- Keyboard/ckbcomp: Support symbols = [...].
- keyboard_present.sh: Quiet config/postinst when we have no USB devices
* Dropped changes, no longer needed:
- Tolerate absence of setupcon in postinst scripts. Should be fixed by
refactoring to not have a keyboard-configuration package that needs
to call setupcon without depending on it.
- Call setupcon --force only when debian-installer is active
and always redirect output to /dev/null to not block. (LP: 520546)
- Fix command injection in ckbcomp
- Don't copy keyboard-configuration questions to /target in OEM mode.
oem-config will ask them later, and copying these confuses it.
- debian/preprocessor: revert the removal of keyboard names (for size) of
console-setup-udeb: we do need those, since we don't use the simplified
xkb-keymap template from Debian just yet: this way we can still show
country/language names when selecting a keyboard, layout or variant
- Drop several commented out portions of debian/rules related to udeb
- Drop removal of di-gzipped-ekmaps, which are only used for udebs
* Dropped several changes that were not explicitly documented in the
changelog, and are no longer needed:
- Drop console-setup-pc-ekbd from debian/control
- Drop Depends: cdebconf-newt-detect-keys
- Drop udeb portion of vtrgb delta
* New changes:
- d/rules: skip udeb rules if building with noudeb profile
