Comment #4 on issue 558 by MathStuf@gmail.com: add xmir support http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=558
the Mir protocol will never be "stable", i.e. that it'll always be a moving target?
Mir has a library which is supposed to have a stable API. The protocol itself is an "implementation detail". For Mir support, a Haskell FFI binding to libmir (or whatever) would have to be done first. However, I feel like the core algorithms for window management could be split out and then any X, Wayland, or Mir port could just use those and then talk however is best with the DM and/or apps. Ideally, xmonad-contrib would contain non-DM extensions and anything requiring a specific backend could be split off. But that's a lot of work which I don't know if there is any interest in doing. I do remember someone wanting to write a pure-Haskell Wayland protocol library, but I don't know the status of it. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
