Do you have any news? It seems Bépo isn’t included at the moment in the main 
tree.

Thanks by advance,

Sébastien.

You made a little mistake: you named the directory «bero» instead of «bepo».

When can I expect a release of kbd with the Bépo layout?

Thanks by advance.

[kbd] Include Bépo in the set of default layouts

Hi,


I’m french (sorry if I do some mistakes), and I’m using the Bépo keyboard 
layout. It’s a popular Dvorak-like French-optimized keyboard layout. Some 
reasons to include it:

– Bépo layout is popular, see the number of people registered on our forum: 
http://forum.bepo.fr/userlist.php (if we don’t count people with 0 messages 
posted, 33 + 50 × 8 = 433), or on Linuxfr.org: 
https://linuxfr.org/sondages/la-disposition-b%C3%A9po%E2%80%A6 (203 people 
claims that they use Bépo, 114 wants to use it and 443 says “maybe one day”). 
Some of this people created Ergodis, an association to promote Bépo (but not 
only).

– physical Bépo keyboards. How to install a distro if we can’t use our 
keyboard? (http://typematrix.com/bepo.php and http://www.ceciaa.com/clavier-ergoneos-fort-contraste-disposition-bepo-c2391-7.php for example).

– Bépo isn’t available on some distributions, so it’s not easy to install it, 
especially for “noobs”. Bépo directly in kbd means no maintenance problems for 
distributions and unified and simple solution to the problem.

– Bépo layout won’t evolve anymore (instead, we want to do a new (perfect?) 
keyboard layout for the (far?) future). It means no maintenance burden for 
you. Also, it’s less than 85 KiB (licences included)


So, what do you think about this idea?


Best,

I have no objections about it.

How do you make decisions here? Anybody is responsible of keyboard layouts?

However, the archive which contains all the files are here:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/dvorak/keymaps/fr-dvorak-bepo-keymaps-1.0rc2.tgz

(Yes it’s RC2, it’s the version we’ve freezed)

P.-S.: In the fr-dvorak-bepo.map, a dev puts a comment:
“CapsLock with '+eacute' doesn't work, nor with egrave, ccedilla,
ecircumflex, agrave and guillemotleft/right : bug ?”
Do you know how to resolve this problem? It’s better to check if everything is 
ok before including it, isn’t it?

At the moment, I support the code and keymaps, so I make the decisions
about it.

I'll look at it in the near future.

Yes. I'll look in the parser for this.
