Jolla Ports Wayland To Android GPU Drivers 90
An anonymous reader writes "A Jolla Sailfish OS engineer has ported Wayland to run on Android GPU drivers. The implementation uses libhybis with the Android driver so that the rest of the operating system can be a conventional glibc-based Linux operating system, such as Mer / Sailfish OS. The code is to be LGPL licensed. The reported reasoning for making Wayland support Android GPU drivers was difficulty in ODM vendors not wishing to offer driver support for platforms aside from Android."

I really only have one question... why are all these open source projects named after ex-girlfriends?

While the last two clearly sound like stripper/porno names, like "candi", .....
Seriously, you had an ex girlfriend named... Wayland?
Did "she" have stubble too?

Been away from Slashdot for a while? Wayland has Benn in the Linux news a fair bit recently. And Jolla has been mentioned quite a few times.
But if you really don't want to read the article then I can fill you in. Wayland is the planet where the emperor hid his cloning cylinders and other artifacts he accumulated during his reign.
