Hi!
After days of extreme hacking and scratching my head I'm happy to present them: * kbd-1.14.1.20080309-1 * klibc-kbd-1.15.20080312-1
Don't scare those pkgrels. There are many good reasons that I've used the latest git versions. (Actually, klibc support was added by current maintainer on my request, and 2 patches I've made today are still not in git.)
What has changed: * replaced statically built binaries with klibcified ones (saves almost 2Megabytes!) * heavily modified keymap hooks, fixed some bugs * at least 2 bugs in our bugtracker closed by the latest mainstream changes * in *euro.maps 'currency' was changed to 'euro' (by mainstream) * many nice things for Cyrillic alphabet users * splitted hooks and klibcified binaries into a separate package (this will allow to update them separately, and was required in this case).
Both i686 and x86_64 packages available (thanks Thomas!). Please signoff. ;-)
Note that those MUST NOT be moved to core until mkinitcpio's dependencies are fixed. I will make release new mkinitcpio version soon (maybe today, depends on how much testing I can get done). If anyone is interested, the changes are in mkinitcpio and klibc-extras git.
New mkinitcpio is now in Testing, and a fixed/improved klibc-kbd-1.15.20080312-2 as well. Please signoff both kbd and klibc-kbd. How to test klibc-kbd: * add 'keymap' hook to mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild the image * boot with break=y * you should see the same font as in your normal plain-text console * try to enter some non-English symbols to see that keymap actually works -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
