I've just landed bug 884752 to master, and will be working to get it uplifted to 1.2 soon. If you are in QA or automation or release engineering and you need to produce Gaia builds, you should read the rest of this message.

This patch allows the set of keyboard layouts and autocorrect dictionaries to be specified at build time, and is necessary because we had put so many dictionaries into the default build that we were running out of space on some devices.

These two lines in the Makefile specify the default layouts:

# This variable is for customizing the keyboard layouts in a build.
GAIA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS?=en,pt-BR,es,de,fr,pl

This was my best guess and what a minimal set of keyboard layouts should be. To create a build that includes other layouts, just specify this environment variable when building:

  GAIA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS=en,es,fr,zh-Hans-Pinyin make install-gaia

The set of available layouts is now in $GAIA/keyboard/layouts/ And the dictionaries required by those layouts are in $GAIA/keyboard/dictionaries. At build time, the necessary files are copied to apps/keyboard/js/layouts/ and apps/keyboard/js/imes/latin/dictionaries. The .gitignore file has been modified to ignore these files that are copied into place at build time.

If you have any trouble creating builds or using the keyboard in the coming days and think it is related to this change, please let me know.

  David
