xwayland should be moved to extra/ or xorg/ #89

Closed apprehensions closed 1 year ago

apprehensions commented 1 year ago

i have tested xwayland and i believe it should exit testing, and be put in either extra/ or xorg/.

it can also be safely switched out for muon for #86, and wayland users might want this package.

wael: does xwayland belong in community
wael: if at all
illiliti: no
wael: damn so it stays in kiss-xorg

I'm glad someone has tested it - I havent had the time to. Was the setup roughly the same as on X? Were there any wayland specific things that you had to do? I'd definitely like to offer it as an option, so having some docs on how to set it up would be a first step IMO.

Was the setup roughly the same as on X?

depends on the compositor, had to fork almost all of them just to have xwayland built in

Were there any wayland specific things that you had to do?

many packages had to be built both FOR wayland and xorg

If you had to fork so many packages, would it make sense to ship these forked pkgs in their own repo, maybe xwayland/?

No. i had to recompile so that programs can run Wayland natively.

xwayland should have its own repository, yes; with all of the libraries baked in for Wayland users

and have a xwayland in xorg/ for people like me, who want to use both at the same time

i will start trying working on this.

i will NOT start working on this and suggest @ehawkvu to instead push the xwayland repository to xorg.

many propietary or X applications will still need X libraries. so a user is suggested to use the entire xorg repository as a benefit.

plz move it to xorg already @ehawkvu
