Just tried this but it seems I can't make it work. :)
I tried it too and the result is weird.
With us_fr installed under /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ everything is
ok:
I forgot to ask you why you used us_fr instead of what upstream uses.
Laziness: it's shorter to type. It's probably not a good answer though.
Renaming it us_qwerty-fr, the upstream name, doesn't change anything.
Yup. I took a look at setxkbmap.c but stopped when I (maybe falsely)
assumed that the problem wasn't there.
I looked it too and I don't know what's wrong.
Anyway I added this line to the PLIST and it now works:
@sample /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us_qwerty-fr
- it's better not to try to be smart about MASTER_SITES
What do you mean?
MASTER_SITES = http://marin.jb.free.fr/qwerty-fr/sources/
is enough, it's more readable and easier for people to take a look at
new versions when ''make peek-ftp'' doesn't work because MASTER_SITES
only lists http:// uris.
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-portsm=136623136912606w=2
I have changed it. This recommendation should probably be listed in
the porter's handbook.
Is this port better now?

Hi,
Hi Tristan,
Attached is an unfinished port of xkb-qwerty-fr, a qwerty layout with
French extensions but no dead-keys. It's on openbsd-wip for those who
cares.
The port install a file under /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/, but
systrace complains and forbids it. How can I do that? Is there a
standard place under /usr/local for additional keymap files?
I think the cleanest way would be to just install the file in
${PREFIX}/share/X11/xkb/, and then tell users to use setxkbmap -I ...

With us_fr installed under /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ everything is ok:
[leguern@le5410]setxkbmap -v 6 us_fr
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout

If it is under /usr/local/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ or
/usr/local/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ the output is the same but there
is an error:

Possible other ways to do it:
2. include the mapping into xenocara. Perhaps you could ask the author
to change the licence?
3. install in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/xkb-qwerty-fr and then @sample it
in /usr/X11R6. Dunno if that's ok for other porters and X11 people.
4. patch setxkbmap so that it also looks at /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/.
But a custom PREFIX at port build time to would break this, and
that'd be one more patch Matthieu has to deal with.
I haven't tried these yet, but I will.
Also I put it in the misc section, but it should probably use x11,
what do you think?
I think x11 would be nicer too.
Done.
Some hints for your port:
- I'd tweak COMMENT, something like qwerty keyboard layout for french
users
Done.
- your PKGNAME doesn't include a version number, it should. You could
set V = 0.5 and then use it in PKGNAME and INTERNAL
Done. It fixes one of my problem!
- PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP and PERMIT_DISTFILES_FTP are not needed anymore.
Done.
Also I think it would be better to install the copyright notice.
(I've seen some ports removing them in the past and felt a bit
puzzled...)
Done, I now also install the keymap.txt file.
- it's better not to try to be smart about MASTER_SITES
What do you mean?
- most if not all porters prefer variable assignements to be properly
aligned with tabs
Done.
Thanks for your reply :)
