That cross-fired over IRC upstream discussion, so to summarize my position:
- we (desktop team) have enough to work on to keep busy without that - it seems no other distribution enable wayland (which means in reality it gets little testing, they might also have reasons to not enable it) - wayland is not a priority for us at the moment - we don't really have a gtk maintainer - we are not wanting to deal with issues under wayland and enabling it might push people to consider we support it and open ubuntu bugs against random app which doesn't work under wayland ... we are not ready nor wanting to deal with those at the moment - we don't know what issue enabling the backend could create on GTK (as the bug history show there has been issues in the past) So yeah, would be nice to turn on but the cost,benefit seems in our disfavor so far... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/954352 Title: Enable wayland backend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/954352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
