Bug#436993: xkb-data: not all Romanian layouts are present/advertised

[Eddy Petrișor]

Subject: xkb-data: not all Romanian layouts are present/advertised
Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.9-4.1 1.0~cvs.20070721-1
Severity: important
Tags: l10n patch

Hello,

The GNOME layout selection tool does not allow selection of all the
existing layout for Romanian. To make matters worse, the hidden layouts
are the ones that should be used in public instititions (ones that
generate correct diactics - s and t with comma below) according to
Romanian law. Also note that the cedilla variants are the ones that will
be deprecated sooner or later although the "std" layout is one of those.


A lengthier discussion was started on the corresponding ubuntu bug, with
references to the Romanian law, and the standard, images with the layout
...

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/108057

Note that the choice issue they discuss is not implemented in anyway
here yet, although the default layout for Lenny should be the comma
variant since having correct diacritics for Romanian is an internal
release goal of the Romanian L10N team:

http://wiki.debian.org/L10N/Romanian/Lenny (in Romanian; the first point
is the one dealing with the issue of using correct diacritics).



Attached is a patch I made for the unstable version of the package and I
tested on the etch version.


Please include this patch in the next release of the package.
