I managed to create a custom xkb mapping using a home directory which contains a xkb keymap description (my-map-usgr-workman) and a symbols file and feeding those in xkbcomp:

~/.config/xkb$ tree
.
├── my-map-usgr-workman
├── symbols
│   ├── ergogr

$ xkbcomp -I$HOME/.config/xkb my-map-usgr-workman  $DISPLAY

My question is : What is the way to make those changes permanent during a reboot?.

Some related guides i have found regarding on ways to create a new xkb layout or variant and how to enable those changes (two tasks that go together usually).

- a couple of sites proposing the local folder way of enabling a new layout

     https://www.vinc17.net/unix/xkb.en.html
     https://a3nm.net/blog/xkbcomp.html
     https://www.choam.eu/altgr-intl/

- a guide proposing to change xkb conf files directly in the system

https://michal.kosmulski.org/computing/articles/custom-keyboard-layouts-xkb.html

- a site that suggest to uphold the 11th commandment was "thou shalt not edit things in /usr/share"
