Current progress

  1. document interface to locale-gen - DONE.
  2. make sure it's possible to choose language multiple times before 'forward' button pressed - DONE.
  3. apply chosen language to gnome session - needs testing
  4. borrow ubiquity widgets for keyboard layout if possible - DONE.
  5. create keyboard layout widget - in progress.
  6. update requestor widget to hide password while typing - DONE.
  7. Convert packages to dh_python2 because python-support is deprecated - merge dh_python2 branch - DONE.
  8. pressing 'enter' in password request widget should be equal to button click - DONE.
  9. version tag and update - DONE.

Problems

  1. What's the best way to check that chosen language was actually applied to gnome session in Debian? 1) dpkg-reconfigure locales 2) choose supported locale 3) ??? are there some packages got to be installed? some env vars set? what should change as a result of proper language choice? In short - test-case description is missing.
  2. Layout widget borrowed from ubiquity fails with error: AttributeError: 'gtk.VBox' object has no attribute 'present' if loaded. This is in the code path inherited from gdm-community-greeter - the debugging is in progress.

Near-future plans

  1. Fix bugs preventing layout widget from loading and connect it with "real" python code talking to xklavier instead of stubs.
  2. week #9 plans.

Additional notes

  1. From now on till the end of GSoC every week new version will be tagged in git repo - this should aid with testing.
  2. This week is one day shorter due to wedding. Luckily - not my own :)
  3. For the same reason weekly meeting is moved to one day earlier.
