Hi Ikey,
on wayland specific you may want to speak with shumski in the opensuse-kde irc channel... he has some basis for it already. Aha. A named target, love it :) Appreciated!
Many thanks, Ikey Doherty
regards, Alin

Hello all,
My name is Ikey Doherty, and this is me swiftly introducing myself to the mailing lists.
TL;DR(re:life) Software engineer, made LMDE, ran SolusOS, killed it, creates software. Done.
Checking through openSUSE 13.1 I can see that Wayland seems partially supported, however not through the GTK (and related libs) stack. Notably I can see that the following packages do not have wayland enabled (--enable-wayland-backend)
* gtk3 * cogl * clutter As far as I can tell the only stopping point in this chain was enabling Wayland support in GTK3, due to an old patch (from gtk3.7) being used in the gtk3 package. I've pushed to Factory [1] in the hopes this will then allow the rest of the packages to have the Wayland backend support enabled.
My reasons are entirely selfish, I need the Wayland backend active to test Budgie [2] via Weston on openSUSE13.1, but that aside, I cannot see any particular reason to not have the backend enabled, especially once you consider the fact that the GTK3 libraries are already dynamically linked to the wayland libraries.
Happy to do this work myself, hit a bit of a roadblock in terms of "where do I push?" as there seems to be no pattern in what repository is used (gtk3 I had to use GNOME:Factory, clutter required openSUSE:Factory but indeed thats a lot of build deps I do not want to test on openSUSE13.1 as its about to become stable. Can't seem to submit cogl anywhere)
Any help on quickly implementing Wayland support in openSUSE would be much appreciated!
Kind Regards, Ikey Doherty
