Hi, Some years ago X.Org decided to switch to a new set of XKB (the X Keyboard extension) data files known as xkeyboard-config.
For various reasons (local changes, complexity of the build system for xkeyboard-config, slacking) Xenocara is still using the old and unmaintained xkb-data. The update is needed for libxklavier which is a required library for some Desktop related ports. Keyboard handling in GNOME3 for one will not work at all without this update. KDE4 may require the same at some point and same goes for ports that use xkeyboard-config. With the help of Alexandr Shadchin, Xenocara now ready to switch to xkeyboard-config, but we'd like to have a last round of tests. For this apply the patch below and rebuild xenocara from sources. Please note that this will move the xkb data files from /etc/X11 to /usr/X11R6/share/X11 Report success/failures to shadchin@ and me. Thanks.
