Hi, Questions are how Debian Jessie packages should be packaged with regards to configuration choices etc.:
wayland support or not (I am skipping ones using libwayland-dev now) python3 support or not (Are we moving too?) X session autostart scripts under systemd Here are the backgrounds: The ibus and its family of packages, which I am involved, are highly coupled to the international keyboard input under the GNOME3 environment. The newer GNOME3 integrated the management of ibus into its Desktop settings dialogue. I, as the ibus maintainer, tend to update ibus with almost the same compile options and patches used for the latest Fedora packages to make it behave well with GNOME3. (But I am also careful not to disable supports for other desktop environments, though it is becoming extremely difficult.) This is because Fedora is certainly the reference platform of GNOME3 and upstream developers are the ones applying patches when releasing to the Fedora and also we lack resources to do anything more. Recently, Fedora (now 21 is the latest) has been building for wayland and building Python packages with Python3. fedora rhel wayland 20 or later 8 or later python3 21 or later 8 or later What is the schedule/plan for Debian to adopt these when upstream (i.e., Fedora) changes its default? Should I enable them for Jessie? Also, we have decided to use systemd as default init system. Then my question is how gdm3 and X session scripts are started from there? Any transition plan? ibus needs to have its daemon started for some programs. (But not for GNOME3/KDE ones since they are usually supported via library calls). Currently, ibus is started by im-config hook script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d. (I maintain im-config too.) Recent default Ubuntu display manager under upstart seems to start some part of X session autostart script from upstart. So some of the startup code used in /etc/X11/Xsession.d by Xsession was copied to upstart configuration file by some Ubuntu maintainer. Should I expect similar action is needed for gdm3 under systemd? What happens with other DE? I certainly need help on this.
