https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251947 Bug ID: 251947 Summary: x11-servers/xwayland: deprecate in favor of -devel version Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jbeich@FreeBSD.org Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org) I'd like to take maintainership but... only when 1.21.0 is released which may never happen[1]. Given no known working[2] compositor uses this port let's avoid spreading QA too thin. For example, xf86-video-intel gave up on tracking releases years ago. Fedora 34 plans[3] to use development snapshot(s). Once released xserver may have fewer (if any) hw/xwayland changes in 1.20.*, leaving server-1.20-branch mainly for hw/xfree86 (bare metal). So, my current proposal is to add the following: DEPRECATED= Upstream no longer maintains Xwayland on stable branches, use x11-servers/xwayland-devel instead EXPIRATION_DATE= 2021-04-01 [1] https://ajaxnwnk.blogspot.com/2020/10/on-abandoning-x-server.html [2] kwin_wayland isn't usable yet, see https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/wayland-plasma-5-16-1-error-no-libinput.71271/ [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/XwaylandStandalone -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
