Description Stefan Dirsch 2024-02-13 19:01:57 UTC 
For the future I expect much more version updates for xwayland than for xorg-x11-server, since the former is still actively used and released, while for the latter only security fixes are released. 

Therefore we should figure out if it wouldn't be possible to extract the generic xserver sources (currently xorg-x11-server-sdk subpackage of xorg-x11-server) out of xwayland sources instead of xorg-x11-server sources.
Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2024-02-13 19:03:15 UTC 
Forgot to mention. These xserver sources are needed for building xorg-x11-Xvnc (subpackage of tigervnc).
Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2024-02-14 14:12:34 UTC 
Joan, please have a look when time allows.
Comment 3 Joan Torres 2024-02-15 08:51:55 UTC 
I see.

I think xwayland will be updated but keeping 100% compatibility with xorg-x11-server?
So xorg-x11-server-sdk which are the headers might be the same, but the sources (xorg-x11-server-sources) might change?
Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2024-02-15 09:26:04 UTC 
Ouch. I've meant xorg-x11-server-source, not xorg-x11-server-sdk!
Comment 5 Joan Torres 2024-02-15 12:02:30 UTC 
I've just sent 2 SR, one for xwayland and another for xorg-x11-server to the devel project.
Now the sources are provided by xwayland.
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2024-02-15 12:14:04 UTC 
It turned out that we still need to adjust  xserver21.1.1.patch and switch to meson for xserver build in tigervnc package.

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2024-03-01 02:08:34 UTC 
In the end we decided to revert this. With next Xserver release we need to switch to meson as buildsystem, which affects also tigervnc/Xcnc build, but we won't change to Xwayland sources for building tigervnc/Xvnc.
