05:13 ity: Hello! Is there room for work on replacing linux-dmabuf with an API not tired to Linux DRM ?
06:38 emersion: not replacing no
06:39 emersion: one can add another alternative protocol for another system-specific API to complement it
06:39 emersion: either way it would be a lot of work

19:18 ity: emersion: Ah, I see, thank you for the answer ! So, no room for a thin system-agnostic API to replace linux-dmabuf, and the way to add support for other APIs is by complimenting it with a protocol for another system-specific API, correct ?
20:06 emersion: ity: I don't see how a system-agnostic protocol would be possible at all
20:06 kennylevinsen: ity: linux-dmabuf is that system-specific API
20:07 kennylevinsen: As a builder for the platform-agnostic wl_buffer
20:08 kennylevinsen: Well, entirely implementation-agnostic really
22:32 ity: kennylevinsen: what do you mean _that_ system-specific API ? It's specific to _Linux DRM_, I don't follow.
22:35 ity: emersion: Hmm, why so ? I don't see why the internals couldn't be abstracted away behind a library/API that can be implemented on multiple systems, which would call into DRM on Linux.
