Description of changes
Working towards #99090.
QtMir (AFAICT) is a Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA) plugin to make Qt a compositor for Mir (as in, the non-Wayland platform). It is used by Lomiri itself to start & communicate with Mir for graphics & desktop interactions.
QtMir only supports Mir 1.x officially. Mir 1.x can be packaged, but it has some problems. Upstream is aiming to convert QtMir from Mir 1.x (a Mir-only server) and MirAL to Mir 2.x (a Wayland compositor framework) and Miroil. We're going to do the same thing Debian has done in their Lomiri effort and package an upstream branch with the Mir 2.x migration instead of going with the regular QtMir. I have thus opted to change the
pnameand add some comments about this situation.Upstream tests have not been made Mir 2.x compatible yet, so there's sadly no testing for this. Launching the
qtmir-demo-clienton top of my Miriway session (I assume any Wayland compositor will do) works, as does the entire Lomiri ecosystem on my WIP branch.Things done
