Hi I want to suggest that we enable wayland by default. In current state having some parts of wayland in ports is basically useless the end-users themselves re-build gtk30 and mesa-libs with wayland enabled.
libwayland-egl.so from mesa-libs and the extra libraries and headers from gtk30 adds like a few KB, a drop in the ocean compared to xorg packages. (might be something more that I missed) Personally I see no reason not to make it default on, even with flavors coming up. For any Desktop user (as well as embedded devices like IVI-systems and whatnot), Wayland is the future. There's no escaping that. Wayland has been quite usable on FreeBSD for over a year now but access to it is limited due to the extra efforts required to use it. If we are to compare with the other guys, several Linux distros are already switching to wayland-based compositors as default window server. What do you think? /Johannes _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
