Mir Display Server Support Lands In SDL2

[Awesomeness]

You've picked the files that are almost identical but the rest have bigger differences.

I simply picked the first file.

By that logic the Wayland file names are just search and replace from X11 backend or Haiku or other video backends.

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/52f8629bdef2/src/video/x11

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/52f86...rc/video/haiku

Did you even look at the directory listing?

[Awesomeness]

Do you have any evidence at all to support this assertion?

I quoted examples, you idiot!

[Awesomeness]

So, you decided with intent that the Mir implementation copied the Wayland implementation, and not the other way around.

Wayland support was commited long ago, so unless somebody invented time travel there is only one conclusion.
That and the copyright header?

[Awesomeness]

Now the question is: does Mir provide any technical superiority over Wayland? If it doesn't then what's the point behind it?

He's just trolling. Hoping to start a flamewar.

Everybody know Wayland is a protocol and Mir a display server.

Still Mir requires to sign a CLA before committing while Wayland does not. So how is that trolling by him?

Have I badly misunderstood or does this mean Mir will not support DRI3 ever? I recall having read that it was designed with client-allocated buffers in mind.

With Wayland, deciding where the allocation happens is up to the compositor, not the protocol. You can as well do server side allocation in Wayland, if you want and your compositor supports it.

I believe Jolla has already proven Canonical wrong by running Wayland on top of ARM, unless Canonical is willing to eventually run Mir on top of Android itself.

Just a reminder (with a liiiiiitle bit of trolling) that GPLv3 + CLA is better than the MIT license.
Thank you for reading this. With love, Anna

[edit:] It would be funny to see Mir implementing the wayland protocol

Wow, solid arguments here.

What would be funny about it?
