Non root install

[jpic]

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I've been installing my layout the same way install.py does. It's been bothering me a lot and finally I found another way, that doesn't require root and that lives in my home directory. Maybe it'd be useful to you so I'm just sharing this tip, but it's not an "issue" of course. Here goes:

# Replace "code" by your layout name
setxkbmap -I ~/.xkb code -print | xkbcomp -I$HOME/.xkb - $DISPLAY

FTR, here's the source from my dotfiles repo:

https://github.com/jpic/dotfiles/blob/master/home/.keyboardrc
https://github.com/jpic/dotfiles/tree/master/home/.xkb/symbols

Have a good day ;)

PS: also it would be cool if you find time to help with imports from toutatis if you find time !

I just noticed the issue sorry, I will definitively look at the non-root method so I can include the layout in my dotfile repository! I will also update the install.py script to let it run without privileges. It's always a good idea not to run github scripts in sudo mode.

About toutatis I was looking for contributing again, I can spare some time now!

Thanks.

But the layout seems to works just fine, any idea of ​​where it comes from?
