Please allow console-data in sarge
Console-data had recently a few changes in unstable, made through
NMU's with the agreement of the maintainer, Alastair McKinstry.
This mail is a request for hinting it to enter testing. Below, I will make my
best for giving the details about the changes. Please ask for more
explanations if something is unclear, of course (no need for CC'ing
me, I'm subscribed to -release).
The relevant changelog entries are at the end of this mail.
The change are quite numerous but all targeted at Debian Installer
enhancements. They only affect udeb packages, except one change which
adds two new keymaps (ar,fa) to the regular deb package.
-one broken keymap fixed (did not work earlier)
-keymap names sorted in debconf (important usability enhancement only
relevant for d-i)
-safer defaults for several languages (helps automated installs in
these languages....no effect outside d-i)
-better translations of keymap names in English and Dutch
Three keymaps have been added which are not used in d-i. This is
mostly working for the future, here, as both of them are for languages
which are currently not well supported in the Linux console (Arabic
and Persian). The latter is the Greek UTF-8 keymap which is requested
by Greek users for being in sarge even if it is not the default on
Greek installs.
All these changes have been very thoroughly tested by Frans Pop and
myself, included by myself on automated installs in all d-i supported
languages. The Greek keymap was deeply tested by Koinstantions
Margaritis at D-I Oldenburg meeting.
console-data -46.3 udebs are included in daily sid_d-i builds of
Debian Installer and no bug has been reported yet.
