Hi,

it is the last moment before the beta release, and while minor features
would be fine to land, I hesitate mostly because of making libweston.so
directly depend on libdrm, logind and dbus if support for them is
enabled on build. OTOH this patch also adds public API, so I think
those two combined maybe it's better to postpone merging this to the
next cycle.

Another thought is that instead of having
weston_compositor_activate_vt() and weston_compositor_set_vt_switcher()
as libweston API it could be an extension API advertized by
libsession-helper.la through the plugin registry. Then there is no need
to call libsession-helper from libweston core, avoiding the
dependencies.

That's what the plugin registry is for: offering e.g. backend-specific
services. Then it is also obvious to the compositor whether the feature
is even supposed to work.

If that sounds good to you, I would be more at ease. If not, then I
suppose we'll just merge this the next cycle.


Thanks,
pq
