| jsgrant_ | What is the last version of Mir, before it started to transition to (as I understand it) somefactor of 'just another compositor' for Wayland? | 23:34 |
|---|---|---|
| RAOF | jsgrant_: Mir 1.0 is about to be released. | 23:41 |
| RAOF | But what, specifically, do you want? | 23:41 |
| RAOF | Because Mir has been able to present a Wayland socket for quite some time (I believe my branch guess back to 2015?) | 23:42 |
| RAOF | And Mir has always been designed to support multiple client frontends, right back to the time when there was a Binder frontend. | 23:44 |
| jsgrant_ | RAOF: Ah, so this is a secondary function? The way I've heard people phrasing this -- is that it was being wholesale rebranded/shifted as a wayland-compositor. | 23:45 |
| jsgrant_ | This was Reddit ... so take that for what it's worth. :^P | 23:45 |
| RAOF | We'll probably drop our own client protocol sometime in the distant future 😀 | 23:47 |
| RAOF | And we'll be unlikely to add much to it - it's much less work to use the existing Wayland backends that toolkits, EGL, Vulkan, Firefox, etc have. | 23:49 |
| RAOF | So now that there aren't as many people working on it, focusing on the server bit is a more valuable use of time. | 23:50 |
| RAOF | Also, now that we don't have a requirement for convergence the fact that the existing Wayland window manager protocols aren't suitable for that is less of an issue 😀 | 23:51 |
| * jsgrant_ is academically interested in Mir; Not too sure if he'll end up using it for anything sans that -- kinda sad I can't find even a toy tiling-wm implemented on it. | 23:54 | |
| jsgrant_ | RAOF: Also sad, about the convergence bit. | 23:54 |
| RAOF | jsgrant_: there's a toy tiling wm in the demo server! | 23:56 |
| jsgrant_ | :^D | 23:56 |
| * jsgrant_ pokes around. | 23:56 | |
| RAOF | miral-shell is the relevant bit. | 23:57 |
| RAOF | (in trunk, which is soon to be 1.0) | 23:57 |
| jsgrant_ | Yeah, just found http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mir-team/mir/development-branch/view/head:/examples/miral-shell/tiling_window_manager.cpp :^) | 23:58 |
| jsgrant_ | Not too chunky-either. | 23:58 |
