Name        : wayland
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 0.85.0
Release     : 1.fc17
URL         : http://wayland.freedesktop.org/
Summary     : Wayland Compositor Infrastructure
Description :
Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a C
library implementation of that protocol. The compositor can be a standalone
display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices,
an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional
applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.

Update Information:

Some works towards getting a fresher wayland into Fedora:

* build wayland-0.85.0
* adjust mesa package so it provides everything needed for weston, the wayland reference compositor

I'll submit a weston package for review over the next few days.

Note, the wayland packages will replace older ones in f17 currently that contain a compositor, which the new ones are not; so this might look like a regression, but that wayland package is heavily outdated and the compositor does not work on f17 anyway.
