Thanks Vitezslav! I just wanted to bang the drum for this change: it should make dealing with keyboard layouts a great deal more sane for F20+. The obvious interaction points to check are anaconda, systemd-localed, and keyboard configuration tools (s-c-k, plus GNOME's, KDE's etc). Everyone should be on the same page so that when a layout is configured, it's set for both console and X. We probably want to be going through systemd-localed for that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
