Since cairo will also depend on that libegl then every system will pull in Wayland. Is this really needed? If we can't build it in a different way we directly need to move Wayland to extra.

Bump.

If we agree that we want to start to support Wayland in Arch we need to move Wayland libs to the extra repo. Then I can build Mesa making use of it in libegl. This shouldn't harm anything else and wayland libs are a pretty small pkg (when we drop the static libs).

So who's going to move it to extra and wants to maintain it there? I could build it but will not use it myself anytime soon.

I'll be happy to maintain Wayland, so I'll take it over and move it to [extra].

Hello, and thank you for adding Wayland into Extra. There is now another smaller problem. In order to make use of Wayland with GTK+3, libxkbcommon should be moved into extra first. Can anyone do that? Lot of GTK+3 apps can be ran in Weston using GDK_BACKEND=wayland.
