There are a number of patches that OLPC patches into xkeyboard-config to support some of their international keyboards. It would be useful to have them upstream to make it easier for other distributions that wish to support the OLPC-XO to do so across all keyboards. The patches they currently ship are as follows: Patch1: olpc-xkeyboard-config-kz-group.patch Patch2: usinet.patch Patch3: xkeyboard-config-olpc-tr.patch Patch4: xkeyboard-config-olpc-ca-fr-typofix.patch Patch5: xkeyboard-config-olpc-et.patch Patch6: xkeyboard-config-olpc-af.patch Patch7: xkeyboard-config-olpc-it.patch The patches are containing in CVS here http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/xkeyboard-config/OLPC-3/ and I've referenced CVS so as that's where the current ones will be. The patches are against v 1.3.
I do not mind those patches - but I prefer to have them at least against 1.4. It there a plan for uplift?
Yes, I suppose there is as Fedora 10 is running 1.4 and they're in the process of uplifting the OLPC-OS to be based on it. What is required to convert them?
Try to apply. Find if some things are conflicting. Resolve the conflicts. Create new patches using diff;)
Patches all apply fine to 1.4 with the following patch options. There is one that has slight fuzz but no failures, I can regenerate that if necessary. I can also attach the current patches at a tar file if its easier. %patch1 -p1 -b .kzgroup %patch2 -p1 -b .usinet %patch3 -p0 -b .tr %patch4 -p0 -b .ca %patch5 -p1 -b .et %patch6 -p1 -b .af %patch7 -p1 -b .it
Actually, having tarball attached would be easier perhaps. Also, the list of files in cvs is larger than you provided here. Why? BTW, should af(olpc-fa) be fixed as af(olpc-da)? In addition, usinet.patch looks suspicious. I do not want to spoil pc105 with extended media keys
The patches I listed are the ones currently included in the build spec. Quite happy for the usinet patch not to be done, I noticed that Fedora carries that one too so it could be Fedora specific, as opposed to OLPC specific. Will attach a tar file shortly.
Created attachment 20481 [details] tar file of olpc keyboard patches
olpc-xkeyboard-config-kz-group.patch - the variant already contains group(olpc) xkeyboard-config-olpc-af.patch - why renaming the varian? why only in symbols?? xkeyboard-config-olpc-ca-fr-typofix.patch - applied xkeyboard-config-olpc-et.patch - applied xkeyboard-config-olpc-it.patch - could not apply, already applied xkeyboard-config-olpc-tr.patch - applied
