Hi. I'm not sure if this is a bug and which piece of software is responsible. Yestarday I've upgraded recently stabilized xorg-server and friends. Today I've accidently found following files on my system: $ find /usr/share/X11/xkb/ -name '._cfg*' /usr/share/X11/xkb/._cfg0000_compat.dir /usr/share/X11/xkb/._cfg0000_geometry.dir /usr/share/X11/xkb/._cfg0000_keycodes.dir /usr/share/X11/xkb/._cfg0000_keymap.dir /usr/share/X11/xkb/._cfg0000_symbols.dir /usr/share/X11/xkb/._cfg0000_types.dir /usr/share/X11/xkb/geometry/._cfg0000_pc /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_base /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_base.extras.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_base.lst /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_base.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_evdev /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_evdev.extras.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_evdev.lst /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/._cfg0000_evdev.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_br /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_ctrl /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_de /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_fr /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_gb /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_gr /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_inet /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_ir /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_is /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_keypad /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_lk /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_lt /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_ma /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_nbsp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_pk /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_ru /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_sy /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/._cfg0000_us However CONFIG_PROTECT is set to /etc on my system, etc-update says there is nothing to do. These files creation time is yesterday, so I'm pretty sure that they were created during xorg upgrade. They are not owned by any package.

Well, xkeyboard-config ebuild does add the correct path to CONFIG_PROTECT.
(In reply to comment #1) > Well, xkeyboard-config ebuild does add the correct path to CONFIG_PROTECT. > Can't see where it does, nothing like CONFIG_PROTECT in ebuild or xorg-2 eclass. Anyway even if it does, that is not correct, because this way user is not notified in any way that he haven't got updates and there are some files to be resolved.
By the way, it seems that there is no way to tell to setxkbmap to use custom directory for this files. I mean if I want to add some custom symbols file(which I want to do now) I have to place it into /usr/share/X11/... which is not good at all. Maybe this files should be installed into /etc/X11/xkb/, this will solve issue with CONFIG_PROTECT and will not force users to modify any files in /usr/... It seems that all you have to do for this is to add --with-xkb-config-root= configure option to setxkbmap ebuild.
(In reply to comment #2) > Can't see where it does, nothing like CONFIG_PROTECT in ebuild or xorg-2 > eclass. I don't see anything like that either (usually it's done via a call to doenvd). You can use a command like this to find out which packages modify CONFIG_PROTECT: portageq owners / $(grep -rl CONFIG_PROTECT /etc/env.d)
(In reply to comment #4) > You can use a command like this to find out which packages modify > CONFIG_PROTECT: > portageq owners / $(grep -rl CONFIG_PROTECT /etc/env.d) I looked through files reported by this command, there are several CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK entries, all of them are masking something in /etc/, nothing related to /usr/...

Today I've > accidently found following files on my system: > $ find /usr/share/X11/xkb/ -name '._cfg*' > /usr/share/X11/xkb/._cfg0000_compat.dir Perhaps these files are left over from an obsolete CONFIG_PROTECT setting. Obsolete settings like these can easily hang around in your environment if you forget to source /etc/profile (or re-login/reboot). This is a common problem caused by the /etc/env.d system, as discussed in bug 194043.
I see. So this should be probably resolved as a duplicate of bug 194043. I will open another bug regarding installation place and editing of xkb files. Thanks.
