This rename addresses a few problems around the split between core Wayland and the wayland-demos repository. 1) Initially, we had one big repository with protocol code, sample compositor and sample clients. We split that repository to make it possible to implement the protocol without pulling in the sample/demo code. At this point, the compositor is more than just a "demo" and wayland-demos doesn't send the right message. The sample compositor is a useful, self-contained project in it's own right, and we want to move away from the "demos" label. 2) Another problem is that the wayland-demos compositor is often called "the wayland compsitor", but it's really just one possible compositor. Existing X11 compositors are expected to add Wayland support and then gradually phase out/modularize the X11 support, for example. Conversely, it's hard to talk about the wayland-demos compositor specifically as opposed to, eg, the wayland protocol or a wayland compositor in general. We are also renaming the repo to weston, and the compositor subdirectory to src/, to emphasize that the main "output" is the compositor.
Wayland Demos This repository contains a few demos application for the Wayland project. There's a sample compositor that can run on KMS, under X11 or under another Wayland compositor and there's a handful of simple clients that demonstrate various aspects of Wayland:
