GitLab

The documentation for the proposed libweston atomic output configuration API is one of the last things we have left on the Phabricator wiki, which I would dearly like to kill.

It would be nice to reproduce this into a GitLab issue. The sequence diagrams can either be attached directly, or reproduced through Mermaid, which also allows for inline edits, e.g.:

sequenceDiagram
    participant Compositor
    participant libweston
    participant Backend
    participant KMS
    Compositor->libweston: Here is my output configuration
    libweston->Backend: Could you please try this output configuration
    loop Try configuration
        Backend->KMS: Hi can you apply this config
        KMS->Backend: Absolutely not
    end
    Note right of KMS: Fine I give up
    Backend->libweston: No
    libweston->Compositor: This is not a good configuration
    Compositor-->Backend: why do you always make life difficult
    Backend-->Compositor: sorry I'm doing my best over here
