[opensuse-project] openSUSE13.1/Wayland
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!

You should ask on the opensuse-factory mailing list. Much better chance of getting help there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you Martin, I'll send the same mail off again shortly. Kind Regards, Ikey Doherty -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
Hello Ikey! A pleasure see you in the Green Side on GNU/Linux, with Geeko!! I follow your work in your last project, SolusOS! Have a lot of fun here!! 2013/11/11 Ikey Doherty <ikey.doherty@gmail.com>:

Hello Ikey!
A pleasure see you in the Green Side on GNU/Linux, with Geeko!! Thank you very much, it's a pleasure to be using openSUSE :) Fishing around for areas I might be able to help with, but alas free time is a commodity we're not always blessed with. I can but try ^^
I follow your work in your last project, SolusOS! Unfortunately SolusOS is gone now, but it does mean that I can concentrate my remaining free time on other free projects, as well as some of my own :) It's one ship that the captain wasn't going to go down with ^^
Have a lot of fun here!! I most certainly intend to :) Hopefully I can be of use, even if its in an advisory capacity to up and coming developers, we'll see :)
Kind Regards, Ikey Doherty

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. regards, Alin On Mon 11 Nov 2013 16:08:12 Ikey Doherty wrote:
