[QUOTE=You-;487044KDE have gone the other way of using Weston.[/QUOTE]
Kwin only used Weston as a bootstrap. They are working towards implementing their own wayland compositor, which is already showing signs of life.

Really nice that they are adopting libinput.
So that X, Wayland and Mir will all run on one common input library.
Do you really think that Bq would have bothered making an Ubuntu Phone if they didn't have the ability to literally "drop it in", and instead had to do software development for it?
Do you really think ARM SoC vendors would have bothered doing software development for Ubuntu drivers?
Wayland was rejected because it didn't play as well with Android as Canonical wanted to, all the other "reasons" for rejection is Shuttleworth PR doublespeak.
PS: Look, I feel your resentment, as we now have two display servers, so anything that can't be abstacted away by frameworks/toolkits will have to be written twice, but the facts are, after Nokia killed their Linux efforts (for the reasons we all know), Ubuntu is the only GNU/Linux which has shipped in phone hardware.Last edited by kurkosdr; 10 May 2015, 10:44 AM.
