Description Benjamin Franzke 2011-04-30 15:53:50 UTC 
The wayland libs are entirely seperate from X.
Its only the core protocol & implementation, since the demos were splitted.

Please change the category to dev-libs or media-libs.


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Malte E. 2011-05-15 05:01:57 UTC 
When wayland hits the tree, it would make sense to introduce new categories, e.g. wl-libs, wl-base, wl-misc etc. It might on the other hand make sense to either move x11's libs to a common category such as media-libs, dev-libs etc. or to change all display server related categories to a more generic name that describes both wayland and x11 bits.
At the moment, I don't think it's important to do anything about it.
