Hi there,
is it possible to update rawhide's xcb-util to the current version which was
released earlier this year?
SONAMES changed so dependent packages will need (at least) a rebuild.
Apparently, when it was released there was some confusion regarding the
splitting of some parts into a seperate repo and the merging of -atom, -aux
and -event into a single library (libxcb-util). A clarifying mail can be found
here:

It would be very nice to get this in in time for F17. As far as I see Mandriva
is packaging it in Cooker. Debian and Ubuntu are also shipping it.
Michal (Nowak), as you're the maintainer, is there any specific reason it
wasn't updated yet? Are there any issues with xcb-util 0.3.8 (or its
dependants) that prevent the new release from going into Fedora until they are
solved? Or is it just that there wasn't enough time yet?
Thank you.
Lars
