We've used a wayland-scanner = wayland.bin alias for ages, to make
packages clearer and allow them to be independently overridden.
Going the whole way into splitting them into separate packages is
useful because it means we can have different meta.platforms
attributes for libwayland and wayland-scanner.
There is no duplication in outputs between the two packages — they
don't install any files in common.
Since we're no longer pulling just one output into nativeBuildInputs
of packages using wayland-scanner, we can use upstream's
wayland-scanner.pc, which gets installed into the dev output, rather
than providing our own.
stdenv.targetPlatform really shouldn't be used by software that
doesn't generate or manipulate binaries. I reviewed all uses of
targetPlatform outside of pkgs/development/compilers and pkgs/stdenv
and replaced those which weren't involved in something which fits
these criteria.
Release announcement:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2023-July/042836.html
> This release includes 3 new staging protocols:
>
> * ext-foreign-toplevel-list - get information about toplevels,
> * security-context-v1 - allow race free identification of sandboxed
> clients,
> * cursor-shape-v1 - set cursor sprite using a shape enum instead of
> surface.
>
> The xdg-shell protocol also now has a 'suspended' toplevel state,
> usually sent when a toplevel is "out of sight" to the user, meant
> to communicate to a toplevel can for example take power saving measures.
>
> This release also include the usual set of straightening of question
> marks and clarifications of ambiguities.
checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
According to diffoscope this is fine (only the Nix store path changes).
Cross-compilation with doCheck=true is broken (requires pkg-config in
nativeBuildInputs but doesn't play nicely with checkInputs).
continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
* treewide: http -> https sources
This updates the source urls of all top-level packages from http to
https where possible.
* buildtorrent: fix url and tab -> spaces

The purpose of this repository is to decouple Wayland
protocol development from the implementation in weston. wayland-protocols will
have its own releases not coupled with with wayland/weston releases and
will not carry any implementations.
