Dear fellow openSUSE users,
If you customized your keyboard layout (XKB), please note that the upcoming update of xkeyboard-config to 2.45 will require manual migration of user files under /usr/share/X11/xkb:
user files previously under
/usr/share/X11/xkb, e.g. the file/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom, which are saved under/usr/share/X11/xkb.rpmmovedafter the update to 2.45 needs to be migrated manually by the user to/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2
While modifying system directories should be avoided in general, the X11 ecosystem is very inflexible regarding the keyboard database, so for X11 sessions it is common to modify /usr/share/X11/xkb. Unfortunately, since these files are not tracked by the package manager, they cannot be migrated automatically.
Fortunately, there is an alternative user-only configuration for Wayland sessions. In a nutshell: it uses a complementary XKB directory structure under ~/.config/xkb.
