I am not familiar with patch workflow for xkb so if there's specific
info you need in all of them, you can say so via email or only in one
of them.

The patches actually come from Sayamindu and Paul Fox, they understand
the xkb machinery in any case.

I also wonder if there's a better way given our situation -- we often
roll new keyboards into production. Does xkb define an alternative
directory where an rpm could install additional keyboard definitions
without patching xkeyboard-config the time?

Of course, once defined and stable, we'd get them into
xkeyboard-config proper, but what I see is that we define keyboards
(and include them in our builds) in a rush, and then polish the
definitions over the next year or so... with this dynamic we'll always
be shipping a patched xkeyboard-config.

cheers,
