o Updating XCB to a new release
-----------------------------
libxcb uses C source files that are generated from the XML protocol
specification using xcbgen, written in Python. On OpenBSD those files
cannot be generated during a normal 'make build' since Python is not
in the base system. So the generated version are checked in CVS
(in lib/libxcb/src/). Here is the receipt to update them when updating
to a new release of XCB:
1) Update proto/xcb-proto.
2) Update the x11/py-xcbgen port to the same version and install the
package.
3) Update dist/libxcb.
4) Check lib/libxcb/src/Makefile if new files need to be generated.
5) Run 'make' in lib/xcb/src to generate the files for the new version.
6) Check lib/libxcb/ for other files needing updates.
7) Commit the result.
