pipewire will need a transition from 0.2.x to 0.3.x at some point,
allowing remote desktop support in GNOME to be re-enabled. This is an
API and ABI break, although the API breaks appear to be small enough
that some packages support both versions with some #if conditions.
A prerequisite for all this is to get pipewire 0.3 through NEW and into
experimental (#954022). I've marked the transition bug as moreinfo to
indicate that it cannot go ahead right now.
Affected packages:
- mutter currently has remote desktop support disabled, but can
re-enable it after Pipewire 0.3 becomes available
- xdg-desktop-portal will need new upstream release 1.7.x, or the Pipewire
features being disabled (1.7.x is already in experimental, with its
Pipewire support disabled for now because it needs Pipewire 0.3.x)
- gnome-remote-desktop will need new upstream release 0.1.8, and as far
as I understand it, is non-functional without Pipewire support that
matches what mutter uses
- krfb and xdg-desktop-portal-kde appear to support both APIs upstream,
but will need some simple packaging changes to switch the dependency
- weston currently only supports Pipewire 0.2, and will need either
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/merge_requests/456,
or that feature being disabled if it isn't considered important
