Did anybody start any CM doc patches in Weston or Wayland yet?
There is the https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/swick/wayland-protocols/-/blob/color/unstable... we started a long time ago, and have not really touched it for a while. Since we last touched it, at least my understanding has developed somewhat.
It is linked from the overview in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14 and if you want to propose changes, the way to do it is file a MR in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/swick/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests against the 'color' branch. Patches very much welcome, that doc does not need to limit itself to Wayland. :-)
Right, I've read all that a while back.
It might be a good place to consolidate most of the Linux CM/HDR discussion, since gitlab is good with allowing discussions, we can track changes, and it's more formatting and diagram friendly than text-only email.
Fine by me, but the way things are right now, we'd be hijacking Sebastian's personal repository for these things. That's not ideal.
We can't merge the protocol XML into wayland-protocols until it has the accepted implementations required by the governance rules, but I wonder if we could land color.rst ahead of time, then work on that in wayland-protocols upstream repo.
It's hard to pick a good place for a cross-project document. Any other ideas?
We also have issues tracked at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/swick/wayland-protocols/-/issues?scope=all&am...
Hi all,
we discussed things in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/swick/wayland-protocols/-/issues/6
and we have a new home for the color related WIP documentation we can use across Wayland, Mesa, DRM, and even X11 if people want to:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pq/color-and-hdr
Yes, it's still someone's personal repository, but we avoid entangling it with wayland-protocols which also means we can keep the full git history. If this gets enough traction, the repository can be moved from under my personal group to somewhere more communal, and if that is still inside gitlab.fd.o then all merge requests and issues will move with it.
The README notes that we will deal out merge permissions as well.
This is not meant to supersede the documentation of individual APIs, but to host additional documentation that would be too verbose, too big, or out of scope to host within respective API docs.
Feel free to join the effort or just to discuss.
Thanks, pq
