The current wayland version available on 13.1 Final is too old for any valid testing. Wayland is evolving too quickly. Hopefully with 13.2 Wayland/Weston will be updated to the latest release. I tried Wayland on 13.1 once, and it crashed my system. Looking forward to full Wayland support soon. I would have to slightly disagree with this statement. openSUSE 13.1 ships with Wayland 1.2.1, which although perhaps slightly older (August) it is not too old for use.
The last major API changes to have real effect were between 1.1 and 1.2, when Wayland moved to wl_surface everywhere. I remember it quite well as I had to port my Weston plugin (my old consort-desktop experiment) to the latest SDK changes. Note that GTK3.10 works fine with Wayland 1.2.1, I would not have suggested it if I had not tested it :) Note that I have not requested *GNOME Wayland support*, rather Wayland support within the toolkit, i.e. GTK, Cogl and Clutter. Enabling the backend in no way impacts on the security or stability of the packages, but does allow both users and developers to experiment with Wayland support, before it is then fully supported by GNOME itself in 3.12. Another strong motivation for this is there are still a number of upstream GNOME applications that need porting to Wayland and testing, it would be nice if people using openSUSE could help with reporting bugs upstream and even porting applications, as Wayland support is an incredibly important goal for GNOME3.12. Kind Regards, Ikey
