I represent the Sway wayland compositor. As some of you might know, we've been working for some months on a new library for Wayland compositor development. Today, Sway is based on the wlc libray, which provides an abstraction on top of DRM, libinput, GLESv2, etc. We have found it too high-level for our needs, and to that end have been working on wlroots as a replacement.
We have prepared a whitepaper that explains the design, motivations, and appeal of wlroots. For your consideration: https://sr.ht/jAFC.pdf Feel free to distribute this as CC-BY-ND. The code for wlroots is available on GitHub: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots Let me know if there are any questions. Along with Sway, wlroots has the backing of the Way-Cooler and waymonad compositors, and we hope to work with more. We're also hope to collaborate with compositors that do not use wlroots on standardizing support for desktops that allow third-party integrations that are portable across compositors. -- Drew DeVault _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
