Description

We are just using libxklavier's foreach_language_variant [1]. I have no idea why those layouts are missing. [1] http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/xkbdesc/doc/XklConfigRegistry.html#xkl-config-registry-foreach-language-variant I'm guessing the ibus-based ones may be missing as we don't actually have ibus in the anaconda environment, but that's a pure guess. I have no idea about Croatian. Discussed at 2012-01-03 go/no-go meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2013-01-03/f18_final_gono-go_meeting.2013-01-03-17.01.log.txt . Accepted as NTH: this should be a safe fix and improves keyboard mapping during install which is obviously desirable and not fixable with an update. Thanks to Rui Matos I now know where the problem lies here. The thing is that for the Croatian layout (and probably also the others) its XML definition doesn't include the language specification and is therefore not listed by the foreach_language_variant. It can be gotten by the foreach_layout and foreach_layout_variant, but this way we still don't get the information that Croatian layout is for the Croatian language (unless doing some "substring magic"). So while I can add the code that would add the Croatian layout to the list of available layouts I cannot make it selecting that layout for the Croatian language by default. (without some "substring magic") It sounds like it would be better just to fix the Croatian layout in xkb, maybe? Can we get a list of layouts which are missing this information, and then re-assign the bug to xkb and possibly send it upstream? Would that be do-able?

Yeah, I believe it should be fixed in xkb because that way also the other projects could make use of corrected data. Rui is now dived in xkb files and their processing so he could be the right person to help here. Adding him to CC list and setting needinfo. Ping? Rui, did you get anywhere with trying to fix Xkb for the Croatian problem? No, sorry. The best way to fix this "defaults" issue once and for all is going to be https://github.com/mike-fabian/langtable which Mike Fabian started recently. Anaconda is using langtable now (thanks!) - perhaps we could move this to modified for f20. Sounds reasonable. I'll try and find a minute to check that the list looks comprehensive. This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
