[RFC weston 0/5] libweston: section+key=value backend config

[Quentin Glidic]

From: Quentin Glidic <sardemff7+git at sardemff7.net>

Here is my draft for the key/value backend config idea.
As I stated on IRC already, I think the key/value config is the nicer one.

First two patches are quite independent from the backend config topic,
but are needed to get the final config API from the start.

The main patch is the third one, especially the compositor.c part, which
demonstrates how this API would be used.

Patches 4 and 5 are just porting drm and x11 backends, for testing.

It seems the biggest problem of this way is “leaking” the whole configuration
to the backend. I do not think it is a problem, since I would trust libweston
and backends are hard-coded in it, so no wild backend would access that configuration.

Quentin Glidic (5):
  libweston: Initial dummy library
  libweston: Move weston_load_module here
  libweston: Add config getters API
  drm: Move backend to libweston
  x11: Move to libweston
