Bug 179951 – [WPE] Stop building Wayland in JHBuild moduleset

• Component: WPE WebKit
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Catanzaro]

Upgrade Wayland in JHBuild moduleset. This is needed for EGLGetDisplay() to work on my computer.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

If I'm not wrong wayland is not needed at all to run the tests, becase we use the  headless backend, so wayland is just a dep of dyz, and we don't need to build it ourselves, so I would just remove it from the jhbuild moduleset. Unless I'm missing something. . .

[Michael Catanzaro]

Yes,since Wayland is not used for running tests, and since it does not seem to depend on anything in the JHBuild moduleset, I think we can remove it safely without having to worry that the system version of Wayland might use libraries in the jhbuild environment (which would be unsafe).

[Michael Catanzaro]

It's also a dep of wpe-mesa, but that does not matter. It would only be a problem if the dependency was reversed.

Zan thinks Wayland can affect OpenGL tests, even using headless mode, so I'll upgrade it instead.

Unsetting r? because Carlos Lopez thinks this is a bad idea.

Setting r? on this one, since I suspect this is the one we'll have to go with... even if it means we don't get consistent results for WebGL tests. (But I'm still not clear as to why Wayland would affect headless mode results.)

mmmm... how this can happen?

[Michael Catanzaro]

I don't know.

Zan, any comment on this?

If Wayland version can still somehow affect layout tests even though we now have headless mode, then I suggest we build Weston inside the JHBuild environment, and expect developers using the JHBuild environment to use that version of Weston.

Otherwise, I think we should commit my patch to drop Wayland from the JHBuild environment.

[Michael Catanzaro]

OK, I was supposed to ensure this didn't get stalled... r?

It apparently never happened. False memories on my side.
