[Needs SRU to Lucid] Keyboard layout for Sindhi

Thanks Abdul-Rahim.
I made a patch and I created a bug report for the xkeyboard-config project at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28875

Please follow this bug report in case any requests are needed for the layout.

The layout has been accepted upstream in the xkeyboard-config project.

You will have the Sindhi keyboard layout available in Ubuntu 10.10 :-).

The status is shown as "Fix released" but I am still unable to use it in Ubuntu 10.04 after reinstalling the xkb-data package. I also downloaded the iso of Ubuntu 10.10 and mounted it to see if the keyboard layout is included in it. But it isn't there too. So what is the current status?

By the way, the Sindhi locale sd_PK is now included in the Ubuntu 10.10. So this keyboard should have been there!

If I understand correctly, the bug was fixed upstream but xkeyboard-config was not updated during Maverick so the fix is still outstanding in Ubuntu.

I've pulled in the new xkeyboard-config package for Natty which I've confirmed does in fact include this change.

I've opened two SRU tasks to backport the fix to maverick and lucid, in case someone has time to file them.

This bug was fixed in the package xkeyboard-config - 2.1-1ubuntu1
