#wayland #compositors #hikari

So I've slowly been trying to resurrect hikari -- a cwm(1)-like compositor for #wayland, written by @acmelabs but hasn't received any love.

I know that darts is preferred. but... fuck that.

I've moved it over to git (history intact), and mirrored things here:

https://github.com/ThomasAdam/hikari

In trying to drag this thing free of dust, I've been working on a few things:

1) Use meson to build
2) Upgrade wlroots from the support 0.15 version to 0.18

Guess how point 2 is going...

Abysmally.

https://github.com/ThomasAdam/hikari/tree/ta/wlroots-upgrade

So far, I'm at 0.16, working on 0.17. The end goal is 0.18 support.

#wlroots is great to wrap up the so-called boilerplate, but it's an absolute joke for developers trying to hop from release-to-release. The documentation sucks, the rationale is non-existent for changes made, and I've had to build each 0.X release to then `git-diff` between the releases.

wlroots needs to do a lot better at not fucking with the API so much -- and if they must -- they must do better to document where the changes are breaking, why, and what the expected fix is.

I shouldn't have to `git diff` releases to determine this.

M'ha fet molta il·lusió compartir programa amb el Salvador Pueyo, amb qui vaig passar incomptables hores aprenent composició i orquestració al Conservatori del Liceu.

Ha estat un concert emocionant i demà a les 17h hi tornem a l'Església de Sant Bosco (Barcelona)! Vindreu?

#Kwin on #Wayland with Wayland clients is the smoothest UI experience I've ever had, except for #WindowsPhone . It's way faster than X. Before now I thought DWM.exe on destop #Windows was as smooth as a compositing desktop window manager server could be, but it's not. #Xwayland will have major issues on #Nvidia until next week, though. Driver 555 should fix the flickering since it adds explicit sync support, but there could be more stuff to do.

Bonic record del concert de dissabte amb els protagonistes del concert, la Kalina Macuta i el Daniel Blanch, i els estimats col·legues Salvador Brotons, Marc Migó i Josep Ferré.
