Gys, please don't start a flamewar out of nowhere!
Jose: Thanks for your proposal! Libmutter does indeed implement a Wayland
compositor and it's the Glib equivalent of Qt's compositor module.
Migration to Mir does not make sense for us because Mutter and even GTK are
not natively supported by
I didn't say that, I only proposed a new project to add new features to

Feel free to answer this email (I'd suggest you to read some documentation

You should know better, X11, Mir, Wayland ALL are abstracted by the

I have only seen you say

Great, I didn't know that libmutter already implements the Wayland
protocol, those are good news and, in this situation a new compositor

Jose, wayland is just a protocol. Toolkits abstract the display server
and they
may or may not implement wayland. In fact wayland has a design that
decouples
multiple things that were all in on solution under X11
including the compositor, where Weston is the reference compositor.
So I am sorry b
Hey José,
As far as I know, Mutter does run on Wayland. So I'm not sure it makes sense to
write a brand new compositor when we could continue to use Gala.
But yes, I think right now it makes the most sense for us to be thinking
Wayland instead of Mir.

I was not talking about porting all the apps to Qt, actually this is not
necessary you can run GTK+ apps over a Qt Wayland compositor without any
problems, I was talking about write *one* app using Qt.
But if for some good reason you don't want to include Qt in the default CD
image (to save a coup
Hi all,
I was wondering what are the plans of the eOS team about Wayland. Are you
choosing Wayland or Mir?
Personally speaking, I think that Wayland is the correct option here for a
lots of reasons, so I made a proof of concept C++/QML compositor that looks
like [1].
I know that elementary OS re
