Create a plugin for each of the wayland backends Each of the backends becomes a plugin. This allows kwin_wayland to load the requested plugin and kwin itself doesn't need to link all the libraries needed. E.g. libdrm is no longer linked if running kwin_x11. Also this allows to create backends for the non-standard EGL platforms (examples could be raspberrypi or Android devices). 2015-05-05 15:58:09 +00:00			`{`
[wayland] Add a --list-backends command line arg for listing available backends Distributions do package each backend plugin in a dedicated package, which means just because KWin got compiled with a specific backend, doesn't mean it is also available at runtime. In order to better support this reality this change introduces a list-backends command line option. Each of the plugins got the json metadata extended by the KPlugin syntax, so that we have a name and description to print. As we already locate all plugins anyway, the additional findPlugins for the selected backend is changed to search the list of all plugin meta data. 2015-10-02 07:31:47 +00:00			`"KPlugin": {`
