Hi! Just FYI and TWIMC (Darxus on IRC asked me to send this mail): Wayland and Weston 0.95.0 are now in the "updates-tesing" repo for Fedora 18; hence if you install the Fedora alpha that was released last week you can just run "yum install weston" and simply start it afterwards to give it a try.
In a week from now I'll likely request that the packages gets moved to the proper Fedora 18 repos, if no major issues show up; you can follow the process in https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libxkbcommon-0.1.0-8.20120917.fc18,wayland-0.95.0-1.fc18,cairo-1.12.2-4.fc18.1,weston-0.95.0-3.fc18 Note, I'm not maintaining any of the packages in question withing Fedora. I'm just a random and mostly inactive Fedora packager these days that had a temporary interest in getting to know wayland a bit better, that's why I took care of updating the packages. But OTOH, I might talk to the maintainers of wayland and weston about shipping a recent git snapshot once 0.95.0 left testing behind. While I'm here two different things: * I found it confusing that http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-demos/ is the same repo as http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/ ; I assume it's done for backwards compatibly to the days when weston was not what it is today -- but I'm likely not the only one that will get confused when looking for demo clients for wayland ... * westons makefile afaics doesn't install any of the demos from the clients/ dir in weston's source (like dnd, gears or smoke). Wouldn't it be wise to make them installable more easily, then distributions like Fedora could ship them in a package like "wayland-client-demos" (or something like that); that could make experimenting with wayland more fun for users CU knurd _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
