<br>
this is a good idea indeed.<br>
<br>
Originally weston-info was needed in Weston repository, because it was<br>
useful in reporting specific information from extensions being<br>
developed in Weston. Nowadays we have wayland-protocols for such<br>
extensions.<br>
<br>
However, since *-info depends on wayland-protocols, it cannot be put<br>
into the Wayland repository, as that would create a cyclical dependency.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline">​Ah right, yes, of course...</div></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline">​</div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">So, a new repository seems to be needed. Let the bikeshedding for the<br>
