Just an example of an issue I run into today: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/
r/129171/

Application just crashed on startup due to a missing nullptr check exposed by 
a different windowing systems.

Hey all, it shouldn't be me finding and fixing such issues ;-)

Cheers

Should happen in the next couple of weeks, now that 5.6.2 is closed.

Sure, assuming you are on Qt 5.7 (if you are not still on Qt 5.6: you want 
5.7)
* 25df38cad562c458538037b9e50552b6885e5d05 (explained in BUG 366509)

* acd10cd393abe04a8fd6fe3ab14055e09c85bc15 (explained in BUG 370518)

Best is of course if Qt would release a 5.7.1, so that this cherry-picking is 
no longer required. Most important is the first of those three patches as 
without the applications are pretty much unusable.

Can we have a list of these hand picked patches? Other distributions
may be interested in applying them, or at least knowing what problems
they fix.

Test your applications on Wayland

2016-10-11 Thread Martin Graesslin 
Hello KDE application developers,

with Plasma 5.8 we have reached a quite solid state in the Wayland porting 
efforts. A state where you can start to test whether your application works 
correctly on Wayland. Normally your application should just work, but if not 
we need to know it before we start pushing Wayland to a wider audience.

So please start to test your application, Test it completely, even the most 
obscure functionality.

If you hit a bug, please report it against product kwin, component wayland-
generic. We will take it from there and forward the bug report to the right 
component, be it in our code, your code, Qt code or even missing functionality 
in Wayland itself. Please report every issue, even if it is extremely minor - 
it might indicate a bug in QtWayland. I don't mind if I get too many bug 
reports due to an issue being reported a few times.

If for whatever reason a problem should exist in your code base we are happy 
to help you with porting it, so that it works on X11 and Wayland.

For testing I recommend to use a Wayland live iso like http://files.kde.org/
neon/images/plasma-wayland-devedition-gitunstable/current/

Such isos have the latest code and also hand-picked patches for QtWayland.

Thank you for helping our great Wayland endeavour.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

Cheers
Martin Graesslin
