Chromium on wayland?
I am running gnome-shell from [testing] with wayland frontend.
Since copy-paste between Xwayland and Wayland application doesn't work, I have to manually retype everything. It's really annoying. The most common offender is of course, my web browser.
Yesterday, I have started compiling chromium-dev from AUR (it should have Aura support), only to fugure out this morning it still launches as an X application.
How to do this?

Re: Chromium on wayland?
You can download an old build of ozone-wayland here.
https://01.org/ozone-wayland/downloads
Just download the Ubuntu package and extract it. Try it launch it from the terminal it will probably be missing one dependency you can get from the AUR: I think last time I also just made a symlink for another *.so to get it to start. But yeah, it's an old binary build. There are build intructions here:
https://github.com/01org/ozone-wayland
But be prepared to download a 24 GB Build Enviroment complete with a copy of Debian and shit loads of dependencies.
HTML 5 videos work fine, but doesn't have a flash player.

I also wonder when and if this will ever be inside the mainline codebase.

I did. It is now compilig.
But in the future, it might be better to place chromium-ozone into the official repositories.

Re: Chromium on wayland?
I think that only officially supported packages -from upstream- go into the repos. This is still something like a dev preview AFAI understand.
