kbd-2.0.0

[bdubbs@…]

New package version, but no changes in ChangeLog, NEWS, etc.

The old patch applies without any error. Built fairly cleanly (some warnings) with:

cd kbd-2.0.0
patch -Np1 -i ../kbd-1.15.5-backspace-1.patch
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-vlock \
            --enable-optional-progs --enable-libkeymap
make
make DESTDIR=/tmp/kbd install

The seds we use now are not needed. vlock still needs PAM. --disable-static seems to be ignored.

I'm not sure what the optional progs are or whether we need libkeymap.

It would be nice if someone with a non-US keyboard could check this out, but I think the package can wait until after 7.4 is released.

I think Ken's done some testing on this already. Certainly too late/big to make it into 7.4 though.

[ken@…]

Built it (2.0.0wip tarball) in completed system a couple of weeks ago, and over the weekend with a bison-3.0 system. Didn't seem to install any libs, I think a lot of functionality has been moved to an internal lib - but I might be wrong. Worked fine with Matt's uk setup where he had reported a problem with 1.15.5.

Agree it's not for 7.4 (although I'll probably use it since I've made the changes in my own scripts).

I've got the following changes in my build:

1. remove the sed for lex.
2. the resizecons sed to remove the manpage now applies to docs/man/man8/Makefile.in
3. configure now requires check, which is in /tools, so pass

   PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tools/lib/pkgconfig \
   

4. make check is now present, all tests pass.
5. the docs we copy are now at docs/doc/*

Note that check is only used for the testsuite, none of the installed programs referenced andy libs in /tools. Also, for me it seemed to install the same programs as before - I didn't look for any new options to enable things.

[ken@…]

I didn't try that --enable-libkeymap switch. Note that (according to the release notes) loadkeys and dumpkeys always use libkeymap.

[ken@…]

I'm now running with --enable-libkeymap, and for comparison I've done a DESTDIR install without it. These are using the 2.0.0 release on LFS-7.4-rc x86_64. The binaries aren't stripped. I don't know if a separate lib is worthwhile (nothing outside kbd will use it for the moment).

Whoever picks this up can make the decision, and investigate the "optional progs".
