(In reply to Christopher Meng from comment #3)
> 1. qt5-qtwayland should be in 5.2.0, right?

I'm not sure I understand the question. I'll try to enlighten the situation as
much as I can: They haven't done an official release yet. They do keep version
numbers in their Git tree, which is what we use for our package versions. They
don't have any other meaning though at all. We do use snapshots of their Git
repository as qt5-qtwayland is not an official part of Qt yet. We build them
against whichever Qt base version we use -- currently it's 5.2.0.

Therefore, the qt5-qtwayland in f20 is linked against Qt 5.2.0 and works with
it. To build hawaii-shell you need to grab packages from update-testing
repository though.

That said, EGL support is missing from qt5-qtbase in f20, therefore
qt5-qtwayland does not ship with EGL-enabled accelerated backend and only
supports SHM surfaces. Good enough for simple qt5 applications such as
hawaii-terminal or hawaii-archiver, not functional with qml (and therefore
incapable of running the shell, despite it builds fine). Patches that fix this
are already in qtbase git and therefore situation will likely improve with
5.2.1.

> 2. %exclude %{_libdir}/libHawaiiCore.so, why?

Because it's useless at the moment -- there binaries load the actual versioned
library via SONAME and there's no way anything else would realistically link to
it as there are not headers.

Arguably upstream might have used a static library instead though unless they
have different plans.
