Rgrds, legion

the latest versions have caused problems with default names:

# loadkeys es
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/olpc/es.map.gz
assuming iso-8859-1 diaeresis -> this message could be related

whereas older versions:

# loadkeys es
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/es.map.gz

we rename the maps in our builds to avoid this:
cd data/keymaps/i386
mv dvorak/no.map dvorak/no-dvorak.map
mv fgGIod/trf.map fgGIod/trf-fgGIod.map
mv olpc/es.map olpc/es-olpc.map
mv olpc/pt.map olpc/pt-olpc.map
mv qwerty/cz.map qwerty/cz-qwerty.map

fedora does the same thing

I know about this bug. This is a big problem across the keymap directory - the unique names in all tree. For me this is the biggest problem.

Now I don't want to begin global renaming because it won't solve the main problem.

I'm currently working on a very large changes in a separate branch. I hope that these changes will finally resolve this issue and some others.

This release is made to push new utilities and new keymaps and to fix bugs in the previous release.
