Wayland compositors usually depends on libinput (and libevdev or udev), which is
a blocker for us actually for running wayland natively (it might be other
problems).
The reason I am upgrading wayland is that some ports are expecting wayland
libraries >=1.20.0 (and we have only 1.19.0).
These wayland libraries are clients libraries. The fact we don't have a
compositor (the server part) doesn't mean we shouldn't do work.
For the server approch, one thing I am currently testing is arcan (see
graphics/arcan) which is development framework, which is able to run over
egl-dri (directly using /dev/dri vnodes, permitting graphical output starting
from the console) or on SDl (via X11). arcan has basic wayland support (see
arcan-wayland). With more work, it should be possible to run wayland clients on
arcan.
Thanks.
