No layout in fedora

[Ekronke]

I've followed a instruction which involved putting the layout in '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols' and then updating using 'sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml' but it doesn't show up when I look for it using 'localectl list-locales | grep keyboard_name '. But the keyboard doesn't show up.

@Ekronke hi! Have you managed to solve the issue? Gnome recognizes the layout (UI at least) but the characters are QWERTY when typing :(

In case somebody wanders in here. The solution is relatively simple. Not really sure if it stands an OS update thou. These are the steps i did.
0. go to /usr/share/X11/xkb

1. Open symbols/us with sudo, so that you edit it
2. paste the real-prog-dvorak contents in the file. I put mine after default us keymap.
3. Put the snippet in evdev.xml and base.xml below under of the us layout. Search the string <!-- Keyboard indicator for English layouts --> to reach it faster
   <variant> <configItem> <name>real-prog-dvorak</name> <description>English (Real Programmers Dvorak)</description> </configItem> </variant>
4. edit base.lst and evdev.lst. Jump to ! variant section and look for us language. Shove real-prog-dvorak us: English (Real Programmers Dvorak)

Then reboot and you will find programmers dvorak variant entry inside Us layouts.

Perhaps editing both base and evdev files was redundant but I did it anyways.
