Currently, output properties are looked up either on the wl_output
object or the output device object. This puts a hard dependency on the
wayland server in the platforms.
This change intends to fix some flaws in the current output
abstractions, and allow creating/destroying wayland-specific globals as
we wish.
With the work done in this patch, the need for the AbstractWaylandOutput
class is unclear, and it might be a good idea to merge it with the base
AbstractOutput class.
drmModeGetPropertyBlob() may return null and we should handle that. In
addition to that, m_conn is not initialized in DrmConnector so kwin will
crash whenever the connector info is accessed.
At the moment, the session code is far from being extensible. If we
decide to add support for libseatd, it will be a challenging task with
the current design of session management code. The goal of this
refactoring is to fix that.
Another motivation behind this change is to prepare session related code
for upstreaming to kwayland-server where it belongs.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
