patch: ucw variant of cz layout

After approx. 10 years of life out of upstream, I made a patch adding UCW variant to CZ layout. It is a favorite layout among Czech programmers and other people, allowing writing of accented characters with no visible keymap switching.
(Capslock+a = aacute etc.)

The patch is against the latest git tree and contains the following parts:

1. UCW layout itself - new section to symbols/cz
2. new section 'groupshift' to symbols/capslock making CapsLock key a Mode_switch
3. alias grp:caps_switch for caps:groupshift (symbols/group)
4. needed rules (rules/compat/layoutRename.lst for cz_ucw alias and rules/base.o_s.part for caps:groupshift and grp:caps_switch)
5. descriptions - rules/base.xml.in
6. Czech translation - po/cs.po

I know it is the last day before the freeze, but can you please accept this for 1.4 release? Thank you.

Your patch is committed with some modifications. In particular, the compatibility part is removed and cz translation.

Thanks for the code!
Comment 2 Milan Vancura 2008-09-16 12:15:52 UTC
Thank you for committing the patch. What shall I do with the translation? Enter new bug with a separate patch and component "Translation"? Or let it lose and wait for someone other ("translators team")?

I'm sorry I am not familiar with the process yet.

All translations of xk-c are managed by the Translation Project (http://translationproject.org/html/welcome.html). I would be grateful if you take care of the CZ translation for 1.4.

I asked Petr Kovar who maintained translations of past three releases. If he hasn't time (or interest) I'm ready to work on it.

Petr already translated 1.4 template, so no work for me :-) Thanks, Petr!

fix "description"->"_description" typo in rules/base.xml.in

There was a typo in rules/base.xml.in causing that grp:caps_switch option in base.xml.in wasn't added to xkeyboard-config.pot for the translation. I'm sorry for the complication, simple patch is included.
Comment 7 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2008-09-23 17:15:04 UTC
Actually, your patch is too large and includes some unneeded stuff. Anyway, I fixed base.xml.in
