[PATCH [0/2] gnu: GDM: Add Wayland support |
|
Date: |

Hi,
This patchset enables Wayland support for GDM: launching GDM itself on Wayland
and launching Wayland sessions (the former requires the latter).
This is my first contribution, so do not hesitate to give any feedback (I also
haven't setup `git send-email` yet so this is a manual mail).
1. Enables optional support for launching a Wayland GDM session.
2. Adds a wrapper for Wayland sessions in order to setup the environment,
similar to the default `/etc/profile` or `xinitrc`.
Best,
Josselin Poiret

Hey,
Thanks for the v2, I applied it on the core-updates-frozen branch
because that's where it tested it. It should soon be merged in the
master branch.
I edited the patches to add your copyrights on top of the edited
files. I also wrapped a few lines and edited the commit messages.

OK so we are on the same page. Do you think you could send a patch
enabling Wayland by default for GDM and the associated documentation
update :)?
Thanks for your work on that topic,
Mathieu
