Package: console-setup-mini
Version: 1.68
Severity: normal
After upgrading to squeeze and installing keyboard-configuration and
console-setup-mini, I couldn't get my compose:rwin option to be
respected on the linux consoles. The compose key had no effect. However,
Ctrl + . worked normally.
I think I traced the problem down to the way ckbdcomp (in my case
ckbcomp-mini) is invoked by setupcon. It is invoked in this way:
ckbcomp $acm_option $rules_option -model "$XKBMODEL" "$XKBLAYOUT" "$XKBVARIANT"
"$XKBOPTIONS"
instead of the recommended way:
ckbcomp $acm_option $rules_option -model "$XKBMODEL" -layout "$XKBLAYOUT"
-variant "$XKBVARIANT" -option "$XKBOPTIONS"
While the 2 versions do the same thing when all variables are non-empty
strings, they behave differently in the common case where XKBVARIANT is
"". In that case, with the first version, the argument-reading loop
stops at the first empty string, so that the option argument is silently
ignored.
Using the second form of invocation solves my compose-key problem.
Cheers,
Baptiste

Changes:
console-setup (1.71) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Anton Zinoviev ]
* FAQ: correct some typos and apply two patches by Jonathan Nieder.
Thanks also to Vincent Lefevre. Closes: #565391 (with apologies for
the delay).
* New manual pages keyboard(5) and console-setup(5). Updated ckbcomp(1)
and setupcon(1). Remove README.fonts. Common documentation directory
for keyboard-configuration, console-setup-linux,
console-setup-freebsd, console-setup and console-setup-mini. New
README.Debian. Thanks to Jorgen Grahn, closes: #617580.
* Remove most of the comments in the default configuration files. It is
difficult to update these comments when the functionality of
console-setup changes and the new manual pages make these comments
less necessary.
* Remove the VERBOSE_OUTPUT option from the default configuration file
(but it is still supported).
* Install *.bug-control files for reportbug.
* Ask the keyboard option question even when Debconf doesn't support the
layout. Thanks to Petr Baudis and Julien Cristau, closes: #581758.
* ckbcomp_mini: process properly empty layout and/or variant options.
Thanks to Baptiste Carvello who reported the problem and traced its
source. Closes: #617499.
* ckbcomp: ignore actions[...] = ... specifications in key definitions.
Thanks to Klaus Ethgen, closes: #607532.
* setupcon: accept all methods to state font size in the configuration
file (8x14, 14x8, 14).
* Debconf: More human-friendly options for the font size question. By
default use 8x14 format for all sizes.
* setupcon: Improved test whether we are on the console. Thanks to
Michael Schutte and Julien Cristau for the suggestions.
* console-setup(-mini).postinst: add again commands to configure the
console.
* ckbcomp: improved implementation for Alt+PrintScreen=SysRq and
Ctrl+Pause=Break on AT keyboards.
* ckbcomp: more correct use of approximate(). This probably affects
only some exotic key combination such as Ctrl+Alt+Shift+AltGr+F1.
* ckbcomp: lets try to remove some unnecessary and potentialy harmful on
non-standard layouts mappings for Linux (Ctrl+'=^G, Ctrl+3=^[,
Ctrl+4=^\, Ctrl+5=^], Ctrl+7=^_, Ctrl+8=^?).
* Do not source /etc/default/keyboard in /etc/default/console-setup
(on new installs or upgrades from pre 1.47 versions).
* setupcon: do not cache automatically the keymap. Instead add --save
option the init script.
* Do not remove /etc/console-setup in postrm.
* setupcon, config, postinst: recognise 'guess' value in the
configuration file.
* postinst: do not fail if setupcon fails.
* Include Terminus font in the compiled packages. Do not depend, but
conflict and provide console-terminus. New upstream version of the
Terminus font (4.32).
* Keyboard/ckb: update with keyboard data of version 2.1 of xkb files.
(This change is not relevant for Debian.)
* New install targets in the Makefiles and debian/rules to better
support non-Debian installs.
* Support for FreeBSD. Packages for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD:
- bdf2psf: new option --raw to generate raw fonts. Try to use CP437
code positions if possible. When generating raw fonts with same
codeset, use identical font map.
- ckbcomp and setupcon: support for FreeBSD keymaps.
- ckbcomp: new option -backspace [ del | bs ] to determine the
behaviour of the keys BackSpace and Delete.
- setupcon, postinst: A corresponding variable BACKSPACE in
/etc/default/keyboard.
- Termcap and Terminfo entries for FreeBSD.
- setupcon: When UTF-8 is requested on FreeBSD, act as if the encoding
is ISO-8859-1.
- Debconf: Don't ask the question about font size on kFreeBSD (no need
for this -- all available sizes will be loaded).
- New configuration variable VIDEOMODE. Currently it is most useful
on FreeBSD because the default Linux framebuffer driver (VesaFB)
doesn't permit changes of the videomode.
- Support for 8-bit encodings in console-setup-mini and in the udebs
- Udebs for kFreeBSD.
.
[ Samuel Thibault ]
* Fonts/bdf2psf: Fix typo.
