[Xcb] [PATCH proto 5/5] make xkb pass the alignment checker

[Christian Linhart]

Hi again Ran,

I have posted the RFC-patch for XKB on March 14th and you have replied to it on March 21st.

Here are the links into the archive:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2015-March/010204.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2015-March/010233.html

The fixes are not found automatically, but by manually comparing it with the spec, and by some testing.
So there is no way to review the method.

So, I probably need to split it up, and cross-reference it with the spec, some time in the future.
But I'll concentrate on other stuff before that: I'll concentrate on stuff that needs to be done
so that we can make a release. (I'll post a message soon about that topic.)

The XKB patches will probably not be included in the next release but in the release after that.

Cheers,

Chris
