Package: console-setup Version: 1.15 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch It would be useful to ship KeyboardNames.pl and kbdnames-maker; the Kickstart user interface in Ubuntu relies on these to be able to display a menu of keyboard choices that can be selected in the installer.
I realise that kbdnames-maker is really an internal helper program, but it's much easier for a Python program like system-config-kickstart to parse its output directly rather than trying to parse KeyboardNames.pl directly; any sane attempt at the latter would probably end up just reinventing something very much like kbdnames-maker, so shipping it seems reasonable enough. (I guess an alternative would be to ship its output, but that's less convenient for Perl programs.) Patch attached. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
