Can anyone create a deb for etch? This patch is already in lenny and upstream.

This is indeed superb. Thanks a lot for fixing it so quickly. The Fedora 8 rpms are in the smc repository. Can you check if Fedora 9 is going to have it by default?

We need a deb for etch to complete this task.

http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/source/SRPMS/xkeyboard-config-1.1-3.fc8.src.rpm

or anyother fedora repository.

Jinesh,

A week from now when I run

# yum update

on my Fedora 8 GNU/Linux system, I am going to see zwnj added to ml keyboard layout and keyboard layout choosing applet in GNOME going to have an option to use Lalitha.

Santhosh,

If you continue to see zwnj missing (spelling mistakes if you like :-) ) after a week, you know what (not) happened :-)

in the new xorg repositry,
the 'in' file is removed and seperate file for all indic layout is used.
it have a 'ml' file for malyalam, which has a lot of diffrences form the 'mal' layout we have in the debian etch.

it also contains the proposed chillus( i dont know how they r going to render it till fonts n rendering engines r updated!).

also i found out that, there is no ZWNJ included in layout though ZWJ is  there(which maynot be needed in future as chillus r getting coded?).

i found a gap for it on the | symbol and here is the patch for it...

review it and if u feels it upright i will submit it upstream...

am attaching the original ml file in the repo as 'ml' and patch as 'ml1.diff'. also the Laliths pstch i submitted earlier, does not have this change...

it is better to submit them as two different patches right?

Looks good so far. Include all the suggestions and create a patch with the changes  including Lalitha to X and send it for review.

Also move the position of Lalitha in the 'in' file down next to Malayalam inscript layout and make it a 'ml' variant from the current 'in' variant. Plan a date for submitting it upstream.

keep ZWNJ at pipe (|) position (it is symbolic and that is the consensus we reached during discussions) but ZWS can be at AB02 itself.

You cannot change any existing positions. Keep ZWJ where it was before, just add ZWNJ (in place of pipe |) and ZWS (in place of hyphen -).

hi everybody,

am attaching the 'in' file which have the altered keymap including the ZWNJ and ZWS...

i hope the left out spaces at AB02, AB04 and AB09 were not left intentionally...

anyway i found one part of these spaces blank and i used the AB02 and AB04...

how about changing the ZWJ above period? i think it can give common positions for both lalitha and ml layouts...

i have changed it like that...

post your comments about the layout...
