Please find below a brief summary of the progress Collabora has made last week.
Week 5 (2023)
Weston/Wayland
================
- SPEC-4673 (Provide implementation for the stubs in gRPC proto implementation) - rebooted this task the second time in order to add further functionality to the grpc-proxy: specifically focused on floating role. Most of the time was dedicated creating a new Qt application that can establish a RPC channel with grpc-proxy and change its role on the fly -- this is an application which I can re-use for remote/fullscreen as well. Similarily agl-shell-activator had also had to be changed a bit. There are 3 compoments with in-flight changes which require sync-up. I'd like these new requests to also allow changing the state dynamically such they allow transitions back and forth: float to maximized and maximized to float, not just starting as floating. See also SPEC-4696.
- SPEC-4689 (PipeWire replacement for Waltham) - some further discussions I had with George Daniel and Derek revelated that PipeWire might not be such a good candidate for Waltham per se, but it can be used for output screen-sharing and window screen-sharing, yet for our Waltham use-case we believe we identified a fair more suitable alternative that is the ability to have multiple-backends in the same Weston instance where the output is using RDP-backend, while locally it is using the DRM-backend. I plan on typing out what are the stepts to get this going, as the technologies to support that in Weston is currently in WIP mode, waiting for some others bits to land. The roadmap is to try to piece everything together and then come up with a plan of what missing/what we further need. PipeWire is still on the table for screen-sharing, application window sharing as well camera/libcamera work. Still related to PipeWire, and this task I've gave it a test and identified some upstream issues I need further figure out.
Best regards,
Kiril
