[kbd] kbd-2.0.0wip (development)

[Alexey Gladkov]

Greetings!

Here's a new development version of the project. The loadkeys and
dumpkeys rewritten using the new library. API isn't stable yet. This
version shouldn't be used in production.

I'd be very grateful if you can help in testing this version.

Hello!

It builds fine for several openSUSE versions:  
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kbd&project=home%3ADarkSS
I've already installed it at my own machine, so I am going to test it.

The only issue I've got was broken openSUSE patch, that implements  
additional functionality. It would be wonderful if you adopt and merge it.  
There was a discussion at our bugzilla about it:  
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337238

Wow! Thanks!

Yes. This is a major rewrite of code. All patches of loadkeys/dumpkeys
will break.

"dumpkeys -C" ?
I think it's possible.

 Builds ok with bison-3.0 in LFS from a few days ago.

Dmitriy, Ken thanks a lot for testing!

I merge it in the master next week, if no one else wants to test it
out. At the end of next week I'll try to make the release.

 Tested on linuxfromscratch from late April, I don't have a newer
system.

This is with gcc-4.8.0 and bison-2.7, I don't have bison-3.0
installed (there are notes of breakage in a few packages).

 All the new tests pass.  All my own weird and wonderful compose
sequences in my own keymap seem to work, to the extent that my font
supports them (e.g. menu comma s for s with comma, menu - d for d
stroke, and accents on the keys used as dead keys in the uk xorg
map).

 Seems fine.

 I'll note that in lfs we don't rate resizecons (it needs svgalib to
provide the video mode files, we think that is defunct but no doubt
someone who has existing video mode files can test tresizecons), our
existing seds need a minor modification (the man8 Makefile.in is now
in docs/man instead of man/ ) but that's no problem.

Hello.

Builds fine for several openSUSE versions ( > 11.4 ):  
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:DarkSS/kbd
Also I test it in runtime at my machine.

Thanks for your work!

Greetings!

This is another snapshot. Some changes:

* Migration on dynamic arrays. Now the library can handle
  keycodes > NR_KEYS, but kernel can't;
* Same for keymaps, function keys and compose definitions;
* Simple API documentation added.

As always, I'd be very grateful if you can help in testing this version.
