Wayland vs X - impact
Been trying to understand what Wayland entails, and sorry for my laziness, but pretty sure someone has the answer and it doesn't seem obvious from all the articles I can find. How does Wayland in Sailfish impact app compatibility? From wikipedia article on Wayland:
Code:
SDL support for Wayland is under development.[55] |

https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Porting/Harmattan They clearly state SDL 2.0 support, so I hope they'll deliver it. |
Re: Wayland vs X - impact
As stated already many linuxdist will move from X11 to MiR and/or Wayland with possible start from Q3 2014 (atleast KDE dists). Some has alphas already.
So most of those toolkits is or will be ported. Actually it is a must in the future. X11 is doomed but it will ofcourse not die 2014 but there will happen alot in this area next year is my guess. So I do not think you have to be affraid that X/Y/Z will not be there. AFAIK terminal emulators already exists for Wayland. Also one prof of concept 3D based Qt5 terminal :cool: |
Re: Wayland vs X - impact

That having been said, Wayland is pretty young and in some places immature -- and it shows. It also hasn't yet benefited from the years of debugging and improvements that the X server and protocol went through, but it is improving rapidly, and I'm sure it will continue to do so at great pace. (full disclosure: I created the architecture for (and initial implementation of) Jolla's homescreen, as well as having had significant input/code in Nemo's homescreen -- I was also involved in early efforts prototyping the port to Wayland inside Jolla, and am still working on it now) |
Re: Wayland vs X - impact
Started to look at some Wayland demos on utube :)
Here is a nintendo game in Wayland I guess those game emulators is using SDL? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZdXu1VM_VQ And for those who has not seen The Real Story Behind Wayland and X - Daniel Stone (linux.conf.au) |

Re: Wayland vs X - impact
I think SDL 2.0 works with Wayland already. Not sure about SDL 1.2 though:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wayland#SDL https://github.com/soreau/SDL/tree/wayland No idea on what stage this is with being merged upstream. |
Re: Wayland vs X - impact
By the way, this thread belongs to the Sailfish subforum, not here.

If I interpret the dependencies correctly this is already the Wayland version. |
