[opensuse-factory] XWayland
Hi all! GNOME 3.12.0 has been integrated into GNOME:Factory (submission to openSUSE:Factory due in time), and we started looking at the 'next wish on the list', coming from users, which happens to be GNOME on Wayland. In a branch, I configured the entire GNOME stack as required, without any big issues. There is one very important component missing though: * XWayland Seems our X Server in Factory does not know the -wayland parameter, and as a consequence, it is not possible to trigger a whole GNOME Session on top of wayland (using weston, it remains possibly to launch parts of it, but that's no fun). Are there any plans already to get XWayland into Factory as well? AFAIK, the code base has been merged into X Codebase after a three year effort (Kudos to the people hanging in there for so long). If this is no target for 13.2, then there won't be any reason for the GNOME Team to enable the stack neither of course; Cheers, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Dominique, XWayland was pulled into the X Server Git Repo 4 days ago. I have already a working unstable version and will submit it to X11:XOrg from where it hopefully will get into Fatory.

GREAT! I'll keep an eye open on them; having the whole stack avaiable at least allows for users to start doing proper testing as well. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
