I think this would belong fine in wayland-utils except for needing<br>
per-compositor code in it. Having tools that depend on compositor<br>
specifics live in wayland-utils would need a consensus agreement. I<br>
have nothing against that, but I also don't maintain wayland-utils.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The whole purpose of that is precisely to hide the differences between the compositors, so that requires per-compositor modules.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Alternatively, maybe each compositor project should consider shipping a<br>

When I was asking to have color-and-hdr documentation repository under<br>
any common gitlab group instead of my personal namespace, the answer<br>
was that it should first become a true community project that won't die<br>
as soon as I walk away from it.<br>

Will be interesting to see how much attention your scripts gain.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Good point indeed, I guess this can stay in my gitlab space in the meantime.</div><div><br></div><div>And that shouldn't stop anyone downstream from packaging it.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Olivier</div></div></div>
