Bug Description

As of 2014-12-29, pre-built binary available of Weston 1.6.0 at official Raspbian jessie repository lacks the RPi backend, which severely hinders performance since the only other useable alternative is fbdev.

$ ls /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/weston/
cms-colord.so desktop-shell.so fbdev-backend.so gl-renderer.so wayland-backend.so xwayland.so
cms-static.so drm-backend.so fullscreen-shell.so headless-backend.so x11-backend.so

Assuming this package relies on raspberry pi foundation libraries it needs to be built from a seperate source package and packaged in a seperate binary package if it is to be included in raspbian proper.

Patches to do that welcome.
