GNOME Control Center

The layout preview is now in the separate window (with autohiding on the irrelevant tabs). And it looks much better since it actually shows two levels, not “one as two”.

Also, keyboard models are chosen from the popup window. If only we could structure them on per-vendor basis. But this is another story…

Now, 0.3 is out. Hurray. But it is not perfect still. Some missing things:

  • vendor info in the xml file
  • USB (and nonUSB?) ids in the xml file – for both vendors and geometries
  • restructuring of the variant ids – similar to what we did for layout ids
  • restructuring of the descriptions and short descriptions

Will it all fit into 0.4? Who knows…

Thanks to Ivan’s explanations, the compatibility rules are now working somehow. The overall solution is nearly a nightmare – 19(!!!) *.part files instead of one (and also new compat directory). Well, at least I can manage it all in this form. The only annoying thing is one little bash-ism in the build script – but hopefully I’ll get rid of it soon. And then, finally, there will be 0.3…

GNOME Control Center

Just merged the keyboard layout preview branch into the HEAD branch. Expecting to get killed tomorrow for breaking something important. Currently, it looks like this and this – but most probably will be changed soon.

ADVOGATO IS BACK. HURRAY!

XKeyboardConfig

We are approaching to the next release. The massive amount of work was done. The intltool issue is more or less straighten out, thanks to Daniel. The ex-“yu” layouts are moved to “srp” (former “sr”) – after the moderately hot discussion between Daniel and Frank. Now, the only thing which bothers me is the compatibility rules. It seems the rules engine is not as good as I’d love to see it :(.
