Please find below a brief summary of the progress Collabora have made last week on Pipewire and Weston/Wayland.
PipeWire
George:
- On leave
Julian:
- Implemented wireplumber config static nodes module to create
nodes with static properties
based on TOML configuration files
- Started rebasing AGL pipewire branch on top of master
- On holidays the 1st and 3rd of January
Weston / Wayland
Daniel:
- On leave
Marius:
- As I haven't found the real culprit for Qtwayland bottom
panel issue I reached out to Scott Murray. Not much to go for now,
as he suggested chatting with other people involved with qtwayland
(Tanikawa-san/Mitsunari-san and maybe ADIT devs). Normal
applications (those not using qtwayland) do not suffer from this
problem, so I'll get back on this once I have more on the
launch/spawn/switching application part.
Top/background surfaces are displayed correct and receiving
inputs events so I'm not blocked by it.
- While toying with multiple apps, found that agl-compositor
doesn't re-paint properly the views when switching apps so I've
decided momentarily to force a repaint for the entire output. This
is a more finesse optimization at this point but I'll see if
another approach might solved it. Do note this is doesn't affect
all kind of apps, but only those that do not refresh their
contents (like apparently most qt application, refreshing their
contents only when user click on buttons).
- Focused (as much as time permitted) on launching new apps
from within homescreen. So far only toying with it and I've found
some issues while doing so:
- the latest yocto image has some bug related to assigning the
same port to services which results in applications not being
started using afm-util. Need to re-sync my yocto image, as
suggested by Jose (it seems he was aware of the problem and a fix
is available).
- converting apps to remove dependency of
libhomescreen/qtaglextras/windowmanager/weson-ready service. All
of these have to be removed to juse plain XDG shell as to
"register" transparently to agl-compositor. Additionally ivi-shell
is being forced onto qtwayland apps.
- reached out to Jose Bollo to gain a better understanding of
afb-daemon and the deprecated afm-user-daemon to determine what
would be the possible solution for homescreen, to answer questions
like:
- can libafbwsc can be used by homescreen to
launch/spawn/start applications
- should homescreen be (actually) a binding service
- should homescreen expose the switch application
request to other applications (can't see why homescreen
Kind regards,
Nick
