Hi.
I have decided to announce new ISOs for my Wayland live CD, named in honor my
favorite celebrity, Rebecca Black.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rebeccablackos/files/2014-10-27/
These ISOs have been built by SVN revision 3013, and are based on Utopic, with
Wayland/Weston 1.6+ (master).
SuperTux2, which has recently ported to SDL2, is now on the ISO, which is the
means there is a native SDL2 application on the ISO, other than the demos
(finally).
The WaylandLoginManager:
Now supports Wayland servers that run as Wayland clients, such as Kwin,
and Greenisland, although there aren't any selectable sessions that use this
yet.
Now filters all data sent to the communication FIFO with grep running
as daemon, so that it can't be crashed, as although I haven't heard of any of
the vulnerabilities through the bash read command, it's better to be safe.
Now be reloaded, without it losing fast user switching data, and
jumping to the wrong tty.
Now starts all fallback text dialogs as the daemon user instead of
root, in the case Weston fails to start on particular hardware.
Also, I tried to make a few efforts to control the ISO size, and there where a
few changes to select better default applications on the Weston panel, for
better desktop like usability. They are all now native Wayland applications,
except for the xterm dedicated to starting xwayland apps instead.
Like the last ISOs, these have GTK, Qt, SDL, Enlightenement for Wayland
toolkits, and Gnome Shell and Weston and Enlightenment and SWC for Wayland
desktops.
Unfortunately this ISO does not have Orbital, Hawaii, or Calligra, as it is
depending on libweston, which is yet to be merged, Hawaii is depending on some
yet to be merged changes in QtWayland's QtCompositor for screen handling, and
Calligra's QT5 port is paused, (but I hear they plan to overhaul the Qt 5 port
in the near future.)
In a future ISO, once I figure out how to run it, and it becomes more runnable,
I will have kwin/plasma as a selectable Wayland session.
