The symbols/apl file

This is a submission for symbols/apl.

I have been in touch with Tim Nelson - who wrote the original. I have updated it for Dyalog APL. Dyalog Ltd are supplying engraved keyboards.

I have updated rules/evdev.extras.xml to define the variants. On the Fedora 16 where I was testing this base.extras.xml was identical to evdev.extras.xml but the evdev version was the one in use.

I have chosen a better default layout than the one that was there previously.

I will try to add the xml file as a separate attachment once the bug is logged (hopeful).

The major changes I have made are to add variant information to the "apl" entry. I also changed to language as it is defined in ISO639-3.

I have updated the apl file.

Regarding the xml file - could you please submit the patch, not the entire file? Use "diff -u". Thanks.

This diff was done against a Fedora 16 version.
Comment 5 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2012-01-03 15:57:30 UTC
Thank you very much!

Just one question. You removed the ISO code eng, replacing it with apl. I am confused - are those layouts for Lipan Apache language? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipan_Apache_language - that language owns 'apl' code in ISO639-3
Comment 6 Geoff Streeter 2012-01-04 00:23:08 UTC
Sorry, me being brainless. Found apl in ISO693-3 and didn't read the details. Use "eng".
Comment 7 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2012-01-07 15:50:03 UTC
That's great! Committed
