console-setup 1.70ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

console-setup (1.70ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian testing, remaining changes:
    - Include Terminus font in the compiled packages.  Do not depend, but
      conflict/provide/replace console-terminus.  New upstream version of
      the Terminus font (4.32).
    - Add a "Do not configure keyboard; keep kernel keymap" model option,
      preseedable by keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP.
    - Use keymapper to generate decision trees for a restricted subset of
      the pc105 model.
    - Update for new layouts and variants for Montenegro and Serbia, and
      migrate configuration files from the old layouts.
    - Generate a locale locally for translating keyboard names in
      kbdnames-maker.
    - Move boot tasks to a combination of two udev rules and a single
      Upstart job, ensuring that they're run at points when we are able to
      satisfy the constraints on the relevant ioctls.
    - Don't gzip font or ACM files in /etc/console-setup/.  The space saving
      is negligible, and it's more efficient not to need to uncompress them
      at boot time.
    - Don't copy keyboard-configuration questions to /target in OEM mode.
      oem-config will ask them later, and copying these confuses it.
    - Add an apport hook.
    - Change the default font from Fixed to VGA for Lat15; while it's not
      entirely complete, it looks better and is largely good enough.
    - Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible and sensible.
    - Don't try to call update-rc.d if it doesn't exist, such as in d-i.
    - debian/vtrgb, debian/vtrgb.vga, debian/console-setup.setvtrgb.upstart,
      debian/rules, debian/console-setup.postinst: use Ubuntu's virtual
      terminal color scheme by default, with a VGA color scheme available
      as an alternative.
    - Explicitly build-depend on liblocale-gettext-perl for kbdnames-maker,
      and likewise have keyboard-configuration depend on
      liblocale-gettext-perl.
    - Depend on debconf instead of pre-depending, because pre-depends have
      no effect on config scripts.
    - Make keyboard-configuration replace old console-setup/console-setup-mini
      versions as well as conflicting with them.
    - Depend on kbd (>= 1.15-1ubuntu3) for a valuable loadkeys improvement.
    - If the detect-keyboard debconf plugin is available
      (cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in the installer), then offer to use it to
      detect the keyboard layout.
    - Fix default keyboard selection for language/country combinations
      lacking a proper combined locale.
    - Drop the layout/variant priority to high on fresh installs.
    - Set default for Dutch to us(intl), not just us.
    - Set default layout for Kurdish to tr(ku).
    - Set default layout for Vietnam to 'us'.
    - Set default variant for French to oss.
    - Set default layout for Simplified Chinese to 'cn'.
    - Don't use the default keyboard variant if the layout is overridden by
      preseeding.
    - If keyboard-configuration/layoutcode is preseeded but not marked as
      seen, then set the default layout but don't lower the layout question
      priority or preseed console-setup/ask_detect.
    - Use the default keyboard model if an existing configuration file sets
      XKBMODEL="".
    - console-setup-udeb (<< 1.53) didn't set the seen flag in the installed
      system.  Cope with this and avoid asking the layout and variant
      questions again if the default debconf priority is at least high.
      (squeeze has >> 1.53, so this can be dropped after 12.04.)
    - Go back to always asking layout before variant.
    - Fix keyboard layout detection to set the layout properly.
    - Reset keyboard-configuration/toggle to the default if it's set to "No
      toggling" and you select a non-Latin layout.
    - Automatically save the font and keymap to /etc in
      /etc/init.d/console-setup if it isn't being run from init. Similarly,
      ensure that the font and keymap are saved to /etc during initial
      installation.
    - Replace usplash detection code with Plymouth detection code.
    - Load the new keyboard configuration immediately when running
      'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' in an installed system.
    - Don't fail to configure keyboard-configuration if setxkbmap fails to
      talk to the X display.
    - Tolerate absence of setupcon in keyboard-configuration.postinst.
    - Move keyboard detection templates from console-setup.templates to
      keyboard-configuration.templates.
    - Stop running debconf-updatepo on clean.
    - Include pc105.tree for ubiquity.
    - Run kbd_mode on each tty in ACTIVE_CONSOLES rather than on the current
      tty, since the current tty might belong to X and changing X's tty out
      of raw mode is a very bad idea.
    - Weaken test for whether /usr is mounted; testing for /usr/share is
      sufficient, and fixes operation in d-i.
    - Make setupcon explicitly exit 0, so that postinsts don't fail in the
      event that loadkeys can't find a console.
  * Dropped changes:
    - Special KPDL handling: rewritten upstream in version 1.24.
    - Upgrade handling for broken 1.57ubuntu1-1.57ubuntu4: prerelease
      versions from natty, code dropped.
    - Allow underscores in rules variables: included upstream.
  * Restore plugin-detect-keyboard handling code, accidentally dropped in
    a previous merge; keyboard detecting code was probably broken in the gtk
    frontend by this.

bdf2psf: font converter to generate console fonts from BDF source fonts

 This package provides a command-line converter that can be used in
 scripts to build console fonts from BDF sources automatically. The
 converter comes with a collection of font encodings that cover many
 of the world's languages. The output font can use a different
 character encoding from the input. When the source font does not
 define a glyph for a particular symbol in the encoding table, that
 glyph position in the console font is not wasted but used for another
 symbol.
 .
 When deciding about the position in the font for a particular glyph,
 the converter takes into account that in text video modes the video
 adapter copies the eighth column of the glyph matrix of symbols
 positioned in the pseudographic area to the ninth column. In order to
 create fonts for text video modes, the width of the glyph matrix of
 the source BDF font should be seven, eight, or nine pixels; otherwise the
 converter creates fonts suitable for framebuffer only.

console-setup: console font and keymap setup program

 This package provides the Linux console with the same
 keyboard configuration scheme as the X Window System. As a result,
 there is no need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to
 make simple customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key
 functioning as AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between
 Latin and non-Latin mode, etc.
 .
 The package also contains console fonts supporting many of the
 world's languages. It provides an unified set of font faces - the
 classic VGA, the simplistic Fixed, and the cleaned Terminus,
 TerminusBold and TerminusBoldVGA.

console-setup-amiga-ekmap: encoded keyboard layouts for Amiga keyboards
console-setup-ataritt-ekmap: encoded keyboard layouts for Atari TT keyboards
console-setup-fonts-udeb: console fonts for Debian Installer
console-setup-macintoshold-ekmap: encoded keyboard layouts for old-style Macintosh keyboards
console-setup-mini: console font and keymap setup program - reduced version

 This package provides the Linux console with the same
 keyboard configuration scheme as the X Window System. As a result,
 there is no need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to
 make simple customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key
 functioning as AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between
 Latin and non-Latin mode, etc.
 .
 The package also contains console fonts supporting many of the
 world's languages. It provides a unified set of font faces - the
 classic VGA, the simplistic Fixed, and the clean Terminus,
 TerminusBold, and TerminusBoldVGA.
 .
 This package can be useful for
 handhelds or other devices with small storage space.
 .
 The package supports only UTF-8. Legacy 8-bit encodings are not
 supported.

console-setup-pc-ekmap: encoded keyboard layouts for PC keyboards
console-setup-sun4-ekmap: encoded keyboard layouts for Sun4 keyboards
console-setup-sun5-ekmap: encoded keyboard layouts for Sun5 keyboards
console-setup-udeb: Configure the keyboard

 This is an experimental replacement of kbd-chooser.

keyboard-configuration: system-wide keyboard preferences

 This package maintains the keyboard preferences in
 /etc/default/keyboard. Other packages can use the information
 provided by this package in order to configure the keyboard on the
 console or in X Window.
