[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/3] weston: improve selection of compositor

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

The way the compositor was selected in Config.in was counter-intuitive,
because the fbdev backend is selected by default even if a different one
is available.

Instead, select the fbdev backend only if no other one was selected by
the user.

Also re-ordered the compositor options, putting fbdev last. This is more
natural when the user wants to select both backends: after selecting the
RPi backend, the fbdev is automatically unselected but the user can move
one line down to select it again.

I am not sure adding such terse help entries is helpfull.

Surely "RPi compositor" is no less explicit than "Compositor backend for
the Raspberry Pi". Arguably, the prompt oculd be changed to "Raspberry Pi
compositor", which would be as much descriptive as the help entry.

Ditto for fbdev: the prompt is explicit enough, the help entry does not
add any value.

If I have to read a help entry, I expect to find more information than
the prompt provides. Just repeating the prompt (even in other trerms) is
just deceiving IMHO.

So, either we provide hepl entries that actually provide information
that can not fit in the prompt, or we do not provide help entries at
all.

Yann E. MORIN.

Well, that was explictly what I wanted we I did the patch:
  - always have at least one compositor
  - have fbdev enabled by default, even if another one is selected.

But I agree this can be counter-intuitive to some, so I won't bar this
change.

We usually put menu entries in alphabetical order. I understand what
you're trying to achieve here, but I'd prefer we be consistent in the
menu ordering.

Indeed, BR2_PACKAGE_WESTON_NEEDS_ONE_COMPOSITOR is not needed, since we
can re-use BR2_PACKAGE_WESTON for the same purpose.

Except for the re-ordering, no problem for me.

Yann E. MORIN.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/3] weston: improve selection of compositor

[Yann E. MORIN]

Arnout, All,

I have more wayland/weston changes locally that I'll push over the
course of the WE.

So I'll take patches 1 (without the reordering) and 2 (with the quote
fix) in my branch.

Depending on further discussion on those three patches, I'll grab
whatever we end up settling on.

Thanks you!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
