This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10 xkeyboard-config-1.4-7.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xkeyboard-config-1.4-7.fc10 is libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10 after or before Sergey's commit in the upstream ?
>Sergey committed the change to symbols/ara earlier this month
>with commit c3b2fd97444f47e726b7916dd1a3ce04ada2d88d.
I patched xkeyboard-config with sergey's commit, but you need both libX11-1.1.5 and the new xkeyboard-config (AFAIU anyway). xkeyboard-config-1.4-7.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update xkeyboard-config'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2234 the xkeyboard-config portion of the problem is solved I guess ie. when b is pressed in Arabic layout I got the unicode char U+FEFB ﻻ but this is another bug as it should be ل followed by ا maybe that part will be solved when I update to the other libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10 but that can't be done because version number of xkeyboard-config should match that of libX11 so please don't push it to stable until it's fixed in both ----------- reasoning: having one but not the other will generate U+FEFB not the sequence ل followed by ا (In reply to comment #7) > maybe that part will be solved when I update to the other libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10 > but that can't be done because version number of xkeyboard-config should match > that of libX11 well, you're already running libX11 1.1 and xkeyboard-config 1.4. so no - the versions don't need to match, you can just upgrade. yes, I installed both and it works [in the first time it was a missing -devel that I forgot lead me to break the dependency] but of course that required this like cat <<EOF >/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xim.sh export GTK_IM_MODULE="xim" export QT_IM_MODULE="xim EOF how can we tell users to do that step [I'm told setting xim as default is not good for other people] libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update libX11'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2307 I already use that from comment #2 [alsadi@pc1 ~]$ rpm -q libX11 libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10.i386 how to tell people about #9 the update system message is automatic, there's more of those to come when the update gets pushed to stable. As for your Comment #9 - I don't actually know. It's probably best if you ask on fedora-devel, I'm sure there's someone that knows the best procedure. a similar problem exists on GTK+ on windows I'm not sure how is this related to the topic, it could be something in gdk
the upstream bug for that is added
> I don't actually know. It's probably best if you ask on fedora-devel
thanks I'll take your advice
xkeyboard-config-1.4-7.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I'm already using them and the problem is not solved [alsadi@pc1 ~]$ rpm -q libX11 xkeyboard-config libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10.i386 xkeyboard-config-1.4-7.fc10.noarch just confirming: the remaining issue is what you mentioned in Comment #9? I guess comment #9 is not a critical thing, mentioning it in release notes will be sufficient -- sorry, I was confused with with this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487583 that bug is not yet solved I ment to keep that one opened not this one |
