We don't know how things will be done in the future, but I do know what Mir supports in the present. That is maintaining backward compatibility for the libmirclient9 client ABI. We have tests to ensure this.
Mir does not support "bringing your own libmir*" on just the client side - you also have to "bring" the server side. That is the way it is. If you disagree, please point me at any tests for this functionality. If you want to change it please convince the team that it is needed and provide the tests for a supported "feature". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507982 Title: [regression] OTA7 broke previously working app Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in Mir: Won't Fix Status in Mir 0.16 series: Won't Fix Status in Mir 0.17 series: Won't Fix Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: OTA7 broke previously working app after OTA7 update on Meizu MX4, glmark2 stopped working https://uappexplorer.com/app/glmark2.sturmflut system updates should not break apps ~/.cache/upstart$ cat application-click-glmark2.sturmflut_glmark2_0.4.1.log libust[24877/24879]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5-32011 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) libust[24877/24879]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5-32011 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) libust[24877/24878]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) libust[24877/24878]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) Error: Couldn't connect to the Mir display server Error: main: Could not initialize canvas [1445336019.182277] <ERROR> MirConnectionAPI: Caught exception at client library boundary (in release): /build/buildd/mir-0.13.3+15.04.20150617/src/client/rpc/stream_socket_transport.cpp(168): Throw in function virtual void mir::client::rpc::StreamSocketTransport::send_message(const std::vector<unsigned char>&, const std::vector<mir::Fd>&) Dynamic exception type: N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implINS0_19error_info_injectorIN3mir25socket_disconnected_errorEEEEE std::exception::what: Failed to send message to server: Broken pipe 32, "Broken pipe" libust[24922/24923]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) libust[24922/24923]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) libust[24922/24924]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5-32011 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) libust[24922/24924]: Error: Error opening shm /lttng-ust-wait-5-32011 (in get_wait_shm() at lttng-ust-comm.c:958) Error: Couldn't connect to the Mir display server Error: main: Could not initialize canvas [1445336029.784398] <ERROR> MirConnectionAPI: Caught exception at client library boundary (in release): /build/buildd/mir-0.13.3+15.04.20150617/src/client/rpc/stream_socket_transport.cpp(168): Throw in function virtual void mir::client::rpc::StreamSocketTransport::send_message(const std::vector<unsigned char>&, const std::vector<mir::Fd>&) Dynamic exception type: N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implINS0_19error_info_injectorIN3mir25socket_disconnected_errorEEEEE std::exception::what: Failed to send message to server: Broken pipe 32, "Broken pipe" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1507982/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
