Hi,
I have a couple of practical questions on the planned usage of the
pigment libs:
1) It seems you namespaced everything (headers, libs, pkg-config files
etc.) with two levels in mind: pigment (or pgm) / render; does that
mean there will be other libraries than pigment-render in pigment?
If yes, are these other libraries known? Would these libraries be
released in the same "pigment" tarball and follow the same
API/ABI/version schemes?
2) What backends / frontends / plugins do you plan for pigment? I see
there's a GL backend, $(libdir)/pigment-0.1/libpgmrendergl1.so, and a
a GStreamer plugin, $(libdir)/pigment-0.1/gstreamer/libpgmrendersink.
3) Do you make any API / ABI stability promises already? Or will you
change ABI frequently during pigment 0.1.x releases?
(I need to understand these to properly name the pigment shared
libraries and plugins, and decide how these will be shipped / in how
many packages.)
Thanks,
