[ Anton Zinoviev ] * FAQ: correct some typos and apply two patches by Jonathan Nieder. Thanks also to Vincent Lefevre. Closes: #565391 (with apologies for the delay). * New manual pages keyboard(5) and console-setup(5). Updated ckbcomp(1) and setupcon(1). Remove README.fonts. Common documentation directory for keyboard-configuration, console-setup-linux, console-setup-freebsd, console-setup and console-setup-mini. New README.Debian. Thanks to Jorgen Grahn, closes: #617580. * Remove most of the comments in the default configuration files. It is difficult to update these comments when the functionality of console-setup changes and the new manual pages make these comments less necessary. * Remove the VERBOSE_OUTPUT option from the default configuration file (but it is still supported). * Install *.bug-control files for reportbug. * Ask the keyboard option question even when Debconf doesn't support the layout. Thanks to Petr Baudis and Julien Cristau, closes: #581758. * ckbcomp_mini: process properly empty layout and/or variant options. Thanks to Baptiste Carvello who reported the problem and traced its source. Closes: #617499. * ckbcomp: ignore actions[...] = ... specifications in key definitions. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen, closes: #607532. * setupcon: accept all methods to state font size in the configuration file (8x14, 14x8, 14). * Debconf: More human-friendly options for the font size question. By default use 8x14 format for all sizes. * setupcon: Improved test whether we are on the console. Thanks to Michael Schutte and Julien Cristau for the suggestions. * console-setup(-mini).postinst: add again commands to configure the console. * ckbcomp: improved implementation for Alt+PrintScreen=SysRq and Ctrl+Pause=Break on AT keyboards. * ckbcomp: more correct use of approximate(). This probably affects only some exotic key combination such as Ctrl+Alt+Shift+AltGr+F1. * ckbcomp: lets try to remove some unnecessary and potentialy harmful on non-standard layouts mappings for Linux (Ctrl+'=^G, Ctrl+3=^[, Ctrl+4=^\, Ctrl+5=^], Ctrl+7=^_, Ctrl+8=^?). * Do not source /etc/default/keyboard in /etc/default/console-setup (on new installs or upgrades from pre 1.47 versions). * setupcon: do not cache automatically the keymap. Instead add --save option the init script. * Do not remove /etc/console-setup in postrm. * setupcon, config, postinst: recognise 'guess' value in the configuration file. * postinst: do not fail if setupcon fails. * Include Terminus font in the compiled packages. Do not depend, but conflict and provide console-terminus. New upstream version of the Terminus font (4.32). * Keyboard/ckb: update with keyboard data of version 2.1 of xkb files. (This change is not relevant for Debian.) * New install targets in the Makefiles and debian/rules to better support non-Debian installs. * Support for FreeBSD. Packages for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD: - bdf2psf: new option --raw to generate raw fonts. Try to use CP437 code positions if possible. When generating raw fonts with same codeset, use identical font map. - ckbcomp and setupcon: support for FreeBSD keymaps. - ckbcomp: new option -backspace [ del | bs ] to determine the behaviour of the keys BackSpace and Delete. - setupcon, postinst: A corresponding variable BACKSPACE in /etc/default/keyboard. - Termcap and Terminfo entries for FreeBSD. - setupcon: When UTF-8 is requested on FreeBSD, act as if the encoding is ISO-8859-1. - Debconf: Don't ask the question about font size on kFreeBSD (no need for this -- all available sizes will be loaded). - New configuration variable VIDEOMODE. Currently it is most useful on FreeBSD because the default Linux framebuffer driver (VesaFB) doesn't permit changes of the videomode. - Support for 8-bit encodings in console-setup-mini and in the udebs - Udebs for kFreeBSD.
