Description Lapo Calamandrei 2002-08-27 04:00:08 UTC 
No euro char mapping in italian (and other, I believe) keymap.
Home page in the ebuild is wrong the right one is
"http://lct.sourceforge.net/data.html".

Linux console tool is ancient and unmaintained for a log time (I believe), why
don't apply the debian patch which add euro support ad some nice keymaps? link
to the patch (from sid) :

I've commited console-data-1999.08.29-r3.ebuild and masked it, please try it and
check if you get the euro char. Please make a comment here if it works or not so
I can unmask it.
Comment 2 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-06 02:17:19 UTC 
Sorry, I just found out I didn't add the new files to the tree yesterday. Just
did now.
Comment 3 Lapo Calamandrei 2002-09-06 08:03:23 UTC 
the italian keymap still won't work, I'm doing a new one, I'll submit it here
ASAP, the us one works fine, btw are you sure the ebuild is correct, I don't
have a debian at hand but is you look in /usr/share/keymaps/* the are *.kmap.gz
and +.map.gz, is this correct?

Comment 5 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-07 14:10:41 UTC 
I think we're changing the wrong package. What is your KEYMAP value in /etc/rc.conf?
Comment 6 Lapo Calamandrei 2002-09-09 04:08:15 UTC 
actually it-x which is keymap i posted here, what's the point?
Comment 7 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-14 15:27:33 UTC 
what news, gentlemen?
Comment 8 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-03 14:18:14 UTC 
Reassigning
Comment 9 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-11 08:26:13 UTC 
Uhm, console-data is obsolete, and will be removed (should have).  If you
need changes, please check if kbd do not have what you want, or add wahtever
there ...
Comment 10 Matthew Schulkind 2004-08-20 23:28:21 UTC 
console-data is gone now. This should probably be closed now (unless it's here to win some longest open bug contest).
Comment 11 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-20 23:32:36 UTC 
and so what if it is? :P
