Sway: Remove xdg-shell-unstable-v6 support

[emersion]

Probably not anytime soon. This is just an issue to track various toolkits/clients progress.

• [x] EFL (since 1.21.0)
• [x] GLFW (since 3.3, doesn't support v6, only wl-shell and xdg-shell stable)
• [x] Gstreamer (since 1.16)
• [x] GTK3 (since 3.22.30)
• [x] Qt (since 5.12)
• [x] mpv (since 0.29.0, doesn't support v6, only xdg-shell stable)
• [x] Ozone (since 80.0)
• [x] SDL2 (since 2.0.8)
• [x] waffle (doesn't support v6, only supports wl_shell, merge request)
• [x] Weston (since 6.0.0)
• [x] winit

Just a heads up that the next GStreamer release will have support for XDG shell stable in at least glimagesink and vaapisink

[nielsdg]

Annnd if this gets merged in time, GStreamer 1.16 will also have support for XDG shell in waylandsink

[emersion]

Seems like Gstreamer 1.16 has been released with xdg-shell stable support.

Seems like we're about ready to ditch it. I don't really care about Ozone.

Looking at that ozone code, it appears they have both v6 and stable support.

[ddevault]

Doesn't look like it supports xdg-shell stable to me. Still think we should axe v6 though

[ascent12]

Ah, you right. I was getting confused by seeing https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc#648, but I forgot that got renamed to xdg_wm_base_ping.

[ecocode]

So this commit kills chromium-ozone on sway ?
on launch I get:

ERROR:wayland_connection.cc(92)] No xdg_shell object
FATAL:ozone_platform_wayland.cc(160)] Failed to initialize Wayland platform

Is there any other way to run native wayland chromium on sway-wayland ?

Is there any other way to run native wayland chromium on sway-wayland ?

Yes: send a patch for xdg-shell stable.

Looks like Ozone has support now, which will be released in chromium 80: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1939493

There are changelogs for Qt 5.12 that mention support for xdg-shell stable if you need them:

https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.12

https://www.qt.io/blog/2018/12/14/whats-new-wayland-platform-plugin-qt-5-12

Just an FYI, that's all.

Thanks, updated the list since this may be used as reference by other projects.

@emersion No problem. :)
