Subject: xkb-data: not all Romanian layouts are present/advertised Package: xkb-data Version: 0.9-4.1 1.0~cvs.20070721-1 Severity: important Tags: l10n patch Hello, The GNOME layout selection tool does not allow selection of all the existing layout for Romanian. To make matters worse, the hidden layouts are the ones that should be used in public instititions (ones that generate correct diactics - s and t with comma below) according to Romanian law. Also note that the cedilla variants are the ones that will be deprecated sooner or later although the "std" layout is one of those. A lengthier discussion was started on the corresponding ubuntu bug, with references to the Romanian law, and the standard, images with the layout ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/108057 Note that the choice issue they discuss is not implemented in anyway here yet, although the default layout for Lenny should be the comma variant since having correct diacritics for Romanian is an internal release goal of the Romanian L10N team: http://wiki.debian.org/L10N/Romanian/Lenny (in Romanian; the first point is the one dealing with the issue of using correct diacritics). Attached is a patch I made for the unstable version of the package and I tested on the etch version. Please include this patch in the next release of the package. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (50, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: LANG=ro_RO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ro_RO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information
