The whole YaST Team at SUSE was first in a Team Workshop at the SUSE Headquarters at Prague and then in the openSUSE Conference 2018. So not much time to take care of the mailing list.

The reason is that openSUSE was migrated to a different set of console fonts and keyboard mappings before SLE did the same transition. At some point we needed to keep the old conservative fonts and keyboard maps for SLE and to offer new ones for openSUSE. We introduced the change here. https://github.com/yast/yast-country/pull/104 That was just a transition period. At a later point in time, the console fonts were re-unified. https://github.com/yast/yast-country/pull/161 Not sure why the keymaps were not re-unified in the same way. But now that SLE and openSUSE Leap are closer than ever, I can't see a reason for them to diverge again. > Also in the case that is only needed one mapping, which of those files > should i take as reference? I would go for keyboard_raw. And just in case you have not done it already, please migrate it to a sane format like Yaml containing only the information that is still relevant nowadays. > Thank you all, > Joaquín Thank you for the great work. > > [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/mentoring/issues/79 > [2] > https://github.com/yast/yast-country/blob/master/keyboard/src/modules/Keyboard.rb#L1421 > > [3]https://github.com/yast/yast-country/blob/master/keyboard/src/data/keyboard_raw_opensuse.ycp#L167 > > [4]https://github.com/yast/yast-country/blob/master/keyboard/src/data/keyboard_raw.ycp#L168 > > -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
