[PATCH weston 0/6] ivi-shell proposal

[Andreas Pokorny]

Hi,
Overall I like that genivi is now a lot more accessible/visible from the
outside. I understand the necessity of dealing with layers on a lower level
to make use of the efficient blending of display controllers. But that
logic should be only implemented within the compositor. Clients should not
deal with the set of available layers - their position / size or
orientation on screen.

Configuration changes are far more simpler (read: flicker free) to
implement when those are only done in one process, with wayland that would
be the compositor. In the case of automotive devices the compositor should
also be responsible for drawing the main user interface. So the compositor
would be well aware of the current scene assembly - like displayed
applications. The applications would only deal with providing buffer
content.

In the end integrating navigation, camera 3rd party application windows
(instead of layers) should be a lot easier.

regards
Andreas
