Dear Maintainers, hi.
First of all, thanks for maintaining weston in Debian.
Weston 10 is using the default build options set by upstream plus
screenshare and systemd features enabled via a debian/rules override of
dh_auto_configure. This basically covers the major cases for PCs and
servers, but for embedded systems and people not wanting to use systemd
(and logind), this is a problem.
Weston has support for using libseat for seat management/launching
weston via the launcher-libseat option (it's turned off by default in
meson_options.txt), but weston 11 libseat launcher became the default [1]
and recently (weston 12) the libseat launcher has become the one and
only official launcher supported by upstream weston [2].
Taking this into consideration and the outcome of Init systems and
systemd GR [3], I'd like to check with you the possibility of enabling the
support for libseat launcher in stable via a proposed-updates upload to
bookworm.
I did rebuild bookworm's version with the option enabled and tested it a
bit in my notebook. I've also used abi-compliance-checker to check if
this could have caused any ABI change in libweston and it didn't. I'll
provide the debdiff output for you to check.
Also, should you answer positively, I can do a more exhaustive testing
and check if we don't introduce any errors when running with elogind and
systemd-logind.
Cheers,
Charles

P.S. I don't think this system info is going to help since I've built in
bookworm chroot.
