Hi All,
Currently I'm in charge of Tizen Common project from Samsung side with
Maciej Wereski and Pawel Wieczorek as release engineers of that profile.
Maintaining X11 causes us a lot of problems and slows us down.
The last X11 based profile was Wearable, but yesterday wayland packages
have been added to it.
If there aren't any objections I would like to disable building Tizen
Common for X11.
If any VETO won't appear - X11 will be disabled from Tizen Common in one
week (18.12.2015).
Best regards
Lukasz Wojciechowski

Dear all,
Why don't we continue a discussion on this topic?
We added X11 into Common project since other profiles such as Mobile, Wearable
and TV used X11 and it was huge work to change X11 to wayland in these profiles.
But, as of now, in all the profiles (Mobile/TV/Wearable/IVI), X11 is replaced
by wayland.
Hence, I think that it's time to start removing X11 from Common.
Actually, X11 repositories causes a lot of load to Tizen OBS system since we
have 4 repositories in Common project.
So, let's start remove X11 from Common as Dominig suggested.
What do you think?
Regards,
Jinmin

Subject: Re: [Dev] Tizen:* - is X11 still needed ?
Stéphane,
if only one profile is using it it should go.
X11 slow down all he build process and requires more work on each packages
which depend (directly or indirectly) of a UX.
My proposition would be remove it from Common after the next quarterly release.

Dear all,
Today, I saw that the X11 repositories were removed last week from the
TV and Mobile profiles (NB: Wearable profile has still some X11 repos):
https://build.tizen.org/project/show?project=Tizen%3ATV
https://build.tizen.org/project/show?project=Tizen%3AMobile
This leads to some questions/remarks:
* more than one year ago, when we started to develop Tizen:Common, it
was only for wayland. Then X11 has been requested, so we added X11
into Common and made a huge work to have many packages build in both worlds.
Then finally, it seems that it's not needed anymore so we could drop
it... But every time we make such change there's a cost: many
configuration and packaging files must be changed, packages added or
removed, deps adjusted etc. Is there a clear visiblity on X11 status
for Tizen, now and in the future ?
* the policy for a package to be in Tizen:Common is that it should be
required in 2 or more profiles. That's not the case anymore for X11
packages: should I remove all X11 packages from Tizen:Common ? (if
visibility is not good, I'd rather keep X11 packages :))
* if X11 packages are definitively not needed, it would be efficient
to remove them from all OBS projects that don't need them (~100
packages are 'pure X11' and could be dropped in every project)
Thoughts ?
Best regards,
