[FFe] qtwayland from debian experimental

[Harald Sitter]

qtwayland is a Qt wrapper around wayland. It allows Qt applications to run in wayland sessions (weston etc.).

It did not get in before our feature freeze because it wasn't in debian due to their freeze. We'd like to add it to Ubuntu to enable testing Qt applications in wayland environments. This is in particularly valuable as Plasma/KWin based wayland sessions are supposed to become testable some time in the not too distant future and being able to run any non-X11 bound Qt application is a great advantage there.

Approved on the condition it can be synced from Debian.

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

Now we are in difficult situation: In Debian, 5.4.0-1 was rejected (because of copyright issues), and the next upload will be 5.4.1 (because all Qt modules versions must be the same). So we won't be able to sync it until we have Qt 5.4.1 in Ubuntu (according to Timo it will happen in about two weeks).

Qt 5.4.1 FFe bug #1427560 now includes a mention of qtwayland too.

It'd be possible to accept this FFe, do qtwayland 5.4.0-0ubuntu1 upload already now (since it is a new component and people could use the time to experiment with it) and I'd simply sync to 5.4.1 from Debian to the 5.4.1 FFe landing when available.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

The difference is that if it's a direct Ubuntu upload, so archive admin will
have to do source New. We have time to get it from Debian.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

This bug was fixed in the package qtwayland-opensource-src - 5.4.1-1
