Thanks to Ran Benita and Daniel Stone (the libxkbcommon authors) for
answering my questions and reviewing this code.
With this commit, input handling should be more correct with using less
code (in i3lock, that is).
With some layouts, this broke uppercase letters in your passwords.
I think that explicit shiftlock handling is unnecessary. X11 seems to do
it on its own. Here is what leads me to that conclusion:
$ setxkbmap de
$ xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Shift_Lock'
$ xev
Now enter a character, say "a", then press CapsLk (which is now
Shift_Lock), then press "a" again. The event state is 0x1, thereby
undistinguishable from normal shift.
The Debian packaging is now hosted on Debian servers at
git://git.debian.org/users/stapelberg/i3lock.git
This makes life easier for Debian people. It makes life harder
for you if you want to build a Debian package of the current
git version. Here is how you could do that now:
Build a tarball of the current git version:
mkdir ../i3lock-dpkg
VERSION=i3lock-$(git describe --tags)
git archive --prefix=$VERSION/ --output=../i3lock-dpkg/$VERSION.tar.bz2 HEAD
get the packaging:
cd ../i3lock-dpkg
gbp-clone git://git.debian.org/users/stapelberg/i3lock.git
cd i3lock
git-import-orig ../$VERSION.tar.bz2
dpkg-buildpackage

The C compiler will handle (void) as "no arguments" and () as "variadic
function" (equivalent to (...)) which might lead to subtle errors, such
as the one which was fixed with commit 0ea64ae4.
If the specified file does not exist or is invalid, previously, the unlock
indicator wouldn’t show up at all, because the invalid surface was still used.
With this commit, i3lock will react like if you didn’t specify an image at all.
