The Wakefield committers may hold off-line discussions from time-to-time. Since these meetings are just for the committers and invited wayland experts, summary minutes will be recorded here as time permits

Online Zoom Meeting 9am PDT 27th Apr 2023

Attendees:  Victor D'yakov, Alexander Zvegintsev, Olivier Fourdan, Niels de Graef, Phil Race, Maxim Kartashev, Kevin Rushforth

Victor:

Alexander, I know you submitted a link to a proposed change to the wakefield sandbox repo, and our plan is to go to open jdk mainline code review as well, right?

Please make it much more verbose, as your last submission was really poor on explanation.

Alexander:

Yes, I posted it to the Wakefield sandbox a few weeks ago as a preliminary review of code changes(1, 2) several weeks ago. No work has been done in the last two weeks as we are now doing a test sprint.

I will post it to the openjdk repo next week to get it pushed out before the fork of JDK21. It will have more explanations.

Maxim:

Nikita Gubarkov is doing the HiDPI, it relies on me integrating cached bounds and insets for GraphicsDevice into the mainline, and that has not happened yet.

 Phil:

Does his code overlap with Alexander's or are they complementary?

Maxim:

I didn't have a chance to check the Alexander's code, but from the descriptions they probably are complementary.

Phil:

We also need to understand the risks of anything that has to do with changes to the X11 compatibility mode, we've had some discussions about how we're going to test all this.

We need to be sure that whatever we put in there is not going to break anything else.

But the clock is ticking, because RDP1, feature freeze is June 8, so we have 6 weeks.

Victor:

We'll need a CSR to carefully review, it will also require Joe Darcy to jump on it.

Alexander:

There will be a separate PR for changes: code changes and spec changes to make it easier to review(dependent on each other). I'll post a head-up message to wakefield mailing list.

Niels:

About libEI, progress is still being made, and we are getting closer to something stable and ready to merge . One of the latest protcol changes , to not depend on protobuf anymore.

We are still planning to make it Gnome 45 and Fedora 39.

Olivier:

For libEI we are expecting last few API tweaks, obviously we want to do all that before we declare the API stable.

Niels:

How is the pure Wayland stuff going on? I understand that it is not going into JDK21

Maxim:

There was no significant progress in the last few months.

Kevin:

The spec changes that are goint into JDK21 should be the same as needed as for the pure Wayland port. There could be some additional things needing to relax.

Phil:

Regarding TCK, there are lots of discussions about how we actually adequately test this from the functional perspective on different distros.

Alexander:

and we still have in issue with Oracle Linux 9.1 that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is too old, so it keeps asking the user permission for every screenshot.

Niels:

9.2 going to be released in couple of weeks, normally you could try it on CentOS and it should work on RHEL as well.
