Iain, could you say what exactly the reasons are for not wanting the gtk package to depend on a wayland package?
I posted about this problem here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-January/006888.html A couple people have said what they think the reasons are in replies. It would be good to be sure, to help figure out a solution. It might help to say what the reason is for having wayland conflict with proprietary drivers. I recognize weston (the reference wayland implementation) won't run on those drivers. But I'm not sure why its package would conflict with them (and I'm having difficulty checking what the conflicts actually are). But you could have the weston package conflict with those proprietary drivers, but have libwayland installable, and then be able to run gtk with a dependency on libwayland? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/954352 Title: Enable wayland backend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/954352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
