[PATCH weston 00/14] Desktop Protocol Support for IVI-Shell

[Teyfel, Michael (ADITG/ESB)]

Hi Pekka, Hi Matt,

I am also highly interested in a response. I spent a lot of effort by implementing this feature and also thinking about a reasonable solution. In the meantime I also published a reference implementation of an ivi-id-agent that is assigning ids to the created surfaces (see below). The wayland-ivi-extension community is also willing to add this implementation of the ivi-id-agent. Moreover AGL is already using my changes to introduce new features. I would appreciate, if people were using the official release of Weston instead of altering it to their needs by applying the changes, which were sent to the mailing list, themselves.  I am highly motivated to work on my patches to fulfill your requirements to get them into mainline. Thanks in advance.

@Matt: Thanks for caring and pushing the topic.

My changes are available on github:
https://github.com/mtey/wayland-ivi-extension/tree/xdg_support_ivi_id_agent
