[i18n] [srpm] KMFL - It supports Tavultesoft Keyman files

[UTUMI Hirosi]

Hi,

CourtJester released libkmfl, kmflcomp and scim-kmfl-imengine.
http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/
I packed them for Mandriva Cooker.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=109779&package_id=120882

KMFL means "Keyboard Mapping For Linux", but it is not for 
general purposes. It is for Tavultesoft Keyman files.
KMFL is being jointly developed by SIL International and Tavultesoft.

Keyman is a proprietary software for keyboard mapping.
It runs on MS Windows.
See the screenshot:

Some Keyman users provide the binary Keyman files,
http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/downloads/keyboards/
but they don't work with libkmfl.

You need the source Keyman files.
For example, get "IPAUni_Src105.zip".
http://208.145.80.131/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=UniIPAKeyboard
It includes "IPAUni10.kmn". That is a source Keyman file.

Compile "IPAUni10.kmn" by kmflcomp.
Kmflcomp is a compiler for source Keyman files.
It is a free software (GPL) running on Linux.

$ kmflcomp IPAUni10.kmn
It will generate "IPAUni10.kmfl".

SCIM supports libkmfl. Install scim-kmfl-imengine then
run scim-setup. Click "KMFL" and install "IPAUni10.kmfl".

Restart SCIM and choose "Other" -> "IPA Unicode 1.0.5" on
scim-toolbar.

Enjoy,
Hirosi
