Wayland testing

Hello. Anybody is testing weston under arch? I've got this problem. GTK3 apps start but after even short of using them app crashes and in weston terminal it is written something like "debugger trap(or something like that)".
Xorg 1.16 has been released today but for me it doesn't solve anything  and xorg-server-xwayland it's propably not even enabled becaues xorg apps doesn't work on weston.
Testing of new versions of Gnome Shell sucks on Arch (but Fedora Rawhide it is not better). Packages from AUR are impossible to build.

Re: Wayland testing

You only have to start weston with "weston-launch -- --modules=xwayland.so" as the man page says to get x legacy support in weston after you have installed xorg-server-xwayland. Gnome 3.12 on Wayland works if you rebuild mutter wayland.

Sorry, i was thinking about gnome-shell-git. mutter-wayland is deprecated software and in 3.13 was integrated with mutter package.

To run the latest Gnome release on wayland of course you'd have to build all the development snapshots. The least invasive way is as I said just to rebuild the mutter-wayland package at the point where support for the new Xwayland support was added and which still works with the rest of the Gnome 3.12 stack.
