Hi All, With a distro maintainer hat on (Who also can't really test due to only having NVIDIA boxes), will this work with the wayland 1.8.1 release or does it still require wayland from git? It will be much easier to build test packages if I don't need to build wayland from git (I already have efl - enlightenment nicely scripted to generate packages from git). Also did the Qt guys have any idea which kde/qt release would have full support again (I guess until then people can configure Qt to use XWayland Instead. Once these things are sorted i'll start building with wayland and advertise that there is a experimental openSUSE repo available for early testing .
