couple of programs from kbd not installed

[gerard@…]

From jsmaby@…:

I also noticed that a couple programs from the kbd package don't install, namely, resizecons, screendump, and setvesablank. They should probebly be taken out of the Contents' and Description' listings, or manually copied into place.

[markh@…]

One note before I start, contrary to the report - my logs indicate that resizecons *is* installed properly by kbd (and my tests back this up)

The following programs are compiled by the kbd package but not installed. None of them have man pages included in the package (as far as I can see).

This line is included in the src/Makefile: # install -s -m 0755 -o root $(MISC) $(BINDIR)

The comments indicate that packages in the MISC variable (our list below) aren't installed by default.

The *'d ones are ones we currently list in the descriptions page for kbd but aren't installed.

clrunimap getunimap outpsfheader screendump* setlogcons setvesablank* spawn_console spawn_login

We have two (maybe three) options:

1) Remove the descriptions for the packages which aren't installed 2) Sed the # out of the Makefile line to include the programs and at the same time add the extra descriptions 3) Combine the change to src/Makefile with the MSB patch for kbd which is about to go into CVS (the patch which fixes up the loadkeys -d behaviour). Then add the descriptions

Gerard, Marc? Which do you prefer?

Reassigning this bug to Marc as he said he'll deal with it.

[gerard@…]

I forgot what happened here, Marc can you please add some comments to this bug what you did, what was decided on. It makes it easier to look back at this bug in a couple of months and still know it's outcome.

The patch for kbd-1.06 has been updated to change the Makefile so the setlogcons, setvesablank and getunimap are installed as well. Also, I moved the patch command to the normal installation instructions, instead of having a seperate box with the patch command.
