Hi, mentors, I have prepared a non-maintainer upload for the kbd package which would close the following bugs: #190385: openvt breaks stdin (and hence everything) #190386: openvt -w ignores child process exit status #261801: Please move dumpkeys and unicode_start to /bin #452103: kbd should handle the CapsShift modifier #459156: package content changes when built with dash as /bin/sh [release goal] In other words, all important bugs as well as the normal bugs for which patches are available would be fixed. Granted, this is a fairly intrusive NMU, but some of these bugs are several years old (and already patched) and show no reaction by the maintainer, which in my opinion justifies this action. The maintainer, Anton Zinoviev, has declared his lack of interest on the package in #446030. (I don’t want to adopt it, though, at least not now.) You can get the source package from <http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kbd/kbd_1.12-19.1.dsc>; it builds two binary packages, namely kbd and kbd-udeb. I didn’t add any Lintian warnings. I would be grateful if someone could review the package. If you think that I should revert some of my changes, please tell me; I’ll just remove the appropriate diffs from debian/patches. Thanks in advance, -- Michael Schutte <m.schutte.jr@gmail.com>
