Description Oldrich Jedlicka 2005-11-17 22:03:14 UTC
I discovered that group(shift_toggle) changed to group(shifts_toggle). There are
two problems:

1. grp:shift_toggle definition points to group(shift_toggle),
2. grp:shift_toggle may be replaced by grp:shifts_toggle (not necessarily)

Both possibilities are covered in attached patches. First patch handles only bad
group(shift_toggle) inclusion, while second patch renames shift_toggle in all
files to shifts_toggle in grp:* and group(*).

group(shifts_toggle) patch

Patch changes only group(shift_toggle) into group(shifts_toggle). Old
grp:shift_toggle stays for example in rules/xfree86.

grp:shifts_toggle and group(shifts_toggle) together patch

Patch replaces all grp:shift_toggle with grp:shifts_toggle and
group(shift_toggle) with group(shifts_toggle). This breaks compatibility in
rules/xfree86 for example, so this is only for consideration.
Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-04-08 11:24:08 UTC
It should be ok in xkeyboard-config CVS. Could you please confirm?
Comment 4 Oldrich Jedlicka 2006-04-11 01:54:12 UTC
I can confirm this as soon as it is released, because I'm do not have CVS  
access and I wouldn't like to mess my installation with CVS parts. Better would  
be to confirm the solution of this bug by some tester. 
 
BTW: What was fixed? I proposed two different solutions. 
Comment 5 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-04-12 07:57:45 UTC
Well, if you would just take the latest xkeyboard-config (0.8) - it all should
be there (no changes since). If it is still not working - feel free to complain.
It uses shifts_toggle everywhere (well, where I could find) - and has
compatibility rule for the old shift_toggle.
Comment 6 Oldrich Jedlicka 2006-04-12 18:22:44 UTC
Well, I finally found the version 0.8 at http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/xkbdesc/. 
I found the following problems with single `grep -r "group(shift_toggle)" *` 
command:

keymap/sgi_bndr/* refers to group(shift_toggle)
rules/sgi and rules/sun refers to group(shift_toggle)
rules/xfree86 refers to group(shift_toggle)

And you do not need to search for it, grep does the job for you :-)
Comment 7 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-04-13 04:27:07 UTC
Well, as I expected, you found the traces in the dark corners:)

> keymap/sgi_bndr/* refers to group(shift_toggle)
keymaps are badly supported, indeed. Especially vendor-specific
> rules/sgi and rules/sun refers to group(shift_toggle)
> rules/xfree86 refers to group(shift_toggle)
xfree98 probably?
Again, these rule files are mostly unmaintained. I'll fix shift_toggle since you
found them - but I would not recommend anyone using these sets of rules. No
guarantees at all.

Thanks for the help, anyway.
Comment 8 Oldrich Jedlicka 2006-04-13 04:32:35 UTC
Thanks for fixing this issue :-)
Comment 9 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-04-20 07:50:49 UTC
committed.
