Systemd stuff is blocked on util-linux stuff which is blocked on karel who is out for a couple of weeks. What we do beyond that after it lands im not sure yet.” This indicates that now that wayland is actually a viable option (it's the default login session for GNOME on F25) some new bugs were found, which is the case with any new software, it remains to be seen how those bugs are going to be ironed out... -- Ahmad Samir _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
