Description Peter Asplund 2012-08-11 15:10:55 UTC 
There was a bug report on this in 2004, and it was fixed, but the file seems to have disappeared since. (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55643)

Please add both A1 and A5 keymaps.

Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-12 15:22:56 UTC 
requests for new maps should really go through upstream
Comment 4 Peter Asplund 2012-08-13 06:50:55 UTC 
Hmm, I'm sad to say that makes sense.. =)
Comment 5 Peter Asplund 2012-08-13 06:59:10 UTC 
Could I get help about how to do that? I'm not sure where to send the request at all.
Comment 6 Alexey Gladkov 2012-08-14 12:14:19 UTC 
No need to send any requests :)

Please specify a author, keymap modificators, architecture (i386, Mac ...) and layout (qwerty, qwertz...) for these files. I'm not gentoo user, so some english description is welcome too.
Comment 7 Peter Asplund 2012-08-15 15:56:03 UTC 
Great! :D

Description: Both layouts are of the "Swedish version" of the Dvorak layout, usually referred to as Svorak. The A1 keeps the special symbols (like !"#¤%&/()=?) where they are on a normal Qwerty layout (the number keys with shift modifier), while A5 moves them to the keypad (with alt gr modifier).

What do you mean by "keymap modifiers"? Was my answer above enough information? Here are pictures of the layouts (including special keys):

Svorak A1:
Author: Xerxes Rånby (nickname "Liket")

Svorak A5: 
Author: xevz

Applies to both:
Keymap modificators: Shift and AltGr
Architecture: Not sure, I guess "all of them"? At least x86 and x86_64.
Layout: Swedish Dvorak (Svorak)

Yes, looks great!
Comment 10 Peter Asplund 2012-10-25 13:58:25 UTC 
Fixed as far as I'm concerned!
