We provide them separately +from libxcb to allow reuse by other projects, such as additional +language bindings, protocol dissectors, or documentation generators. + +This separation between the XCB transport layer and the +automatically-generated protocol layer also makes it far easier to write +new extensions. With the Xlib infrastructure, client-side support for +new extensions requires significant duplication of effort. With XCB and +the XML-XCB protocol descriptions, client-side support for a new +extension requires only an XML description of the extension, and not a +single line of code. + +Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker, +at: + + <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB> + +Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list: + + <mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org> + <http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb> + +You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT. +For anonymous checkouts, use: + + git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xcb/proto + +For developers, use: + + git clone git+ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xcb/proto |
