Hi all,
what do you think about this?
I have alredy taken the Neon packaging and adjusted/cleaned up a bit and
have local repositories of maliit-framework and maliit-keyboard, but I
am a bit hesitant since it installs a default LC_ALL handler for xinput,
and I am not really knowledgable about all the input quirks (that is
actually a huge pain!).
Best
Norbert
