UBports publishes progress update |
|
The UBports team has published an update on the work they are doing along with future plans. The blog post includes information on the next minor update, plans to migrate to Ubuntu's 20.04 base, and offers information on how UBports applications are contained. "Kelmes asked when UT is based on 20.04 and using Wayland how easy do you think it will be to get Flatpak applications working? First we need to clear up some routine confusion between a supposed Wayland compositor and Wayland protocol. There is actually no such thing as the ‘Wayland compositor’. Mir is the compositor for Lomiri and UT. It exists in the 1.x series which is what UT uses at the moment and in the 2.x series which is currently under development. Basing UT on 20.04 actually has little at all to do with using Wayland. Those are two distinct transitions. 20.04 comes first, then Wayland but over quite a long time-scale. In any event, neither of those is in any way related to whether you will be able to run Flatpak on UT. Flatpak applications use a confinement mode but not the same mode as is used by UT applications...." |
