As far as what is left: DnD needs a bit of testing/tweaking yet as there 
are some little buggers floating in there (I'll be hacking on that come 
Monday). We have pending patches to support wl_text_input and 
wl_input_method (https://phab.enlightenment.org/D2275) however we cannot 
"securely" push those until we have a working VKbd implementation to go 
with them. I pinged shiin to see if he could also hack up a vkbd to go with.

While not a Top priority, support for wl_scaler and wl_viewport would be 
remaining things to drop in after July 3. We have pending patches for 
that also (https://phab.enlightenment.org/D2485) however those need some 
refactoring.

While I have not tested it yet, Mike has updated/refactored my initial 
XWayland branch and pushed that upstream already which means we should 
have working XWayland support now. I've not tested it yet myself however 
he did manage to get Firefox running with it (which is good news) :)

E/Elm apps are running good in E-Wl. Gtk apps also (tho Some gtk apps 
have popup menu placement issues according to Phab reports). I don't 
suspect that those are Major issues and likely will take little time to fix.

QT apps on the other hand are a whole different can of worms. Apparenly, 
QT5 has not been updated yet to support xdg_shell version 5 which means, 
while the apps do run, they have quite a few issues. I spoke with RzR 
about it and he plans to update QT5 to support xdg_shell version 5 which 
should address issues there.

There are a few pending buggers listed on Phab which I/we will be 
addressing in the coming weeks tho I don't think any of them are Major 
problems (in terms of functionality).

It is likely that I may be forgetting something in this list, so if you 
can think of something I may have missed, please ask.

Cheers,
dh

2015-06-27 Thread Tom Hacohen
Hey,

Cool, let's get this baby out of the door! A lot of exciting stuff going on.

Just two comments:
1. It's a bit of a short notice, would be great to have a longer one. I'd
recommend looking at how it's done in the EFL where everything is known
months in advance.
2. What is the timeline for the release? Given that Wayland is still being
actively developed and not frozen, and that e20 is not going to be released
before efl 1.15, e will be in feature freeze for a long time. Feels a bit
excessive.

You have your perspective and that's fine; you're looking at this as a
couple of incidents related only to me, and I'm seeing it as a microcosm of
the developer ecosystem as a whole.

In my view, the workflow since moving to git has changed from "someone
introduced a bug, maybe I can help out by fixing it" to "someone introduced a
bug, better revert every possible commit". It's a fundamental shift from being
collaborative to being combative in our usage of SCM, and I know I'm not the
only one who has noticed this. Simply checking over the commit logs will show a
staggering increase in the number and frequency of reverts in every
repository over the past couple years.

At no point have I ever said (except as a joke) that my code is always
flawless. I have no issues with criticism or reverts, except when it subverts
or replaces actual cooperation between developers, which, in my opinion, is
what has happened to us.

I can appreciate that it may be short notice, but consider that Enlightenment
has been in full-on development mode for 9+ months. If anyone truly had any
critical features to merge (which I am not already aware of), they've had ample
time to come forward during this period.
Furthermore, while I may be reluctant to merge new things after the freeze, it
is by no means impossible to do so. If someone comes up with something novel
and interesting which has little chance of creating large bugs for me to fix,
it's probable that I'll accept it.

In my estimation, >= 1 month of feature freeze (1.15 is scheduled for 3 August
2015) prior to release after a 9 month development cycle is actually a very
short freeze. While I would like to provide a concrete release-by schedule,
Enlightenment development is a bit different from EFL, and I am strongly
opposed to setting such a deadline given the extremely limited manpower
actively working on Enlightenment.

Ideally, E20 will release prior to EFL 1.16, but this is nothing more than
my responding to questions of "When will E17 be released?" with "Soon".

i actually would dearly love to see far more rapid releases of e. break down
work into smaller blobs and when each blob is done - release. likely not more
often than every 2-4 months as that will probably churn too much for users and
distributions (imho), but definitely group work into chunks that fit into a 2-4
month window then get it out. repeat relatively rapidly.

in this case this doesn't imho. i tried to contact (co-operate) but due to no
response within that hour or whatever a fix wasn't likely to be timely. i
actually bisected the commit and read the diff. i read all of the diff and
nothing jumped out at me as the cause so i could do a quick fix.

i had to make a call. let it sit broken for possibly another 2-12 or so hours,
or revert it with sufficient information as to why it needs a revert. i believe
the log and email contained easily sufficient information. in my book that is
communication. a log by itself would not be. the email is the explicit
heads-up.

i would have preferred that it be fixed without a revert, but i was literally
sitting there with a broken system and beginning to swear every second word
just trying to function as normal. sure... i can roll back myself to before the
commit but i realized that what i was exper

the question reading between the lines from users is:

"can i now use E20 to switch to wayland?"

:)

i've talked with you about this - i know that i personally can't. my 2 main
desktop systems have new nvidia rigs and literally have zero nouveau support. i
know i'm not the only one and for many nouveau is still iffy. i am sure we
could get more people working on wayland if we could run "e in a window" in x11
- ie wl-x11. like weston does. with a but of imagination it'd be possible to
get full acceleration for egl working too.

from a pr point of view, for many people they'd like to "see how e wayland is
going" without having to drop out of x11 to do it. this'd help answer a lot of
questions people have. :) it'd also mean a LOT more helping getting wayland
moving along.
