Hello gentleman,
Wayland is now in version 1.0.4[1]. I plan to move it to community to offer a first support of the wayland protocol into Archlinux. This will allow toolkit[2][3] packages to smoothly enable wayland support when maintainers wants and let users try this next-to-systemd-troll[4].
After Wayland I would add the demo compositor Weston to our community repositories. To do this we needs to: - enable wayland support into mesa ; - enable wayland support into cairo.
If the both maintainers agreed to add support, we need to find a gentle developper which can move wayland to extra[5].
Some news from the front: - Wayland is in extra, thanks to Tom G. for moving it. - Mesa and cairo have their wayland backend enabled in testing, thanks to Andreas R. - Weston is in community-testing. You can now play with the first wayland compositor/windows-manager. Cheers, -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer https://www.seblu.net GPG: 0x2072D77A
