Created attachment 89548 [details] [review] Patch for symbols/se file I've supplied a bug report to the Gentoo bugzilla, but it's probably better to supply it upstream. After reading your rules, this might be more suitable for "Extras", but so could all Dvorak layouts, right? :) The symbols file (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se) for swedish currently lacks the Svorak A5 layout, but has both Svorak A1 (commonly called Swedish Dvorak) and Svdvorak (another version). You could say that the Svorak A5 is a swedish version of the Programmer's Dvorak. Gentoo bug here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486978
Created attachment 89549 [details] [review] Patch for base.xml.in
How would you estimate the number of users for that variant? Any approximage figure would do.
Good question! I have no idea, but there are about 9 million Swedes, where let's say 4% are using Linux... Out of those, perhaps 1% are typing Dvorak, and of those, 10% are programming nerds who just have to try something a bit more obscure than "normal" dvorak :) So let us round up to an even 400!
I would kindly ask to put it to extras then
Created attachment 90123 [details] [review] Patch for base.extras.xml.in Here is the updated patch! I hope it looks ok.
ok. done!
A comment on the Gentoo bug got me confused: "I think is it not fully fixed upstream, only rules/base.extras.xml.in was changed and symbols/se wasn't." I haven't checked the check in though.
You are right. Really sorry. Committed with a bit of cleanup
Has this been released yet? If it has, in which version?
The release is tomorrow. Stay tuned:)
