Peter Hutterer 34be0608c7 weston-launch: always drop privileges before execve The current code works if pw->pw_shell is bash because: "If the shell is started with the effective user (group) id not equal to the real user (group) id, and the -p option is not supplied, these actions are taken and the effective user id is set to the real user id." Thus, for bash, weston's EUID == UID. For zsh, the -p option "is enabled automatically on startup if the effective user (group) ID is not equal to the real user (group) ID." Thus, weston's EUID = 0, and if pw_shell is zsh, /run/user/$UID/wayland-0 is created with euid root and not writeable by the user, causing all clients to fail. Fix this by always dropping privileges to the user. Regression introduced in `636156d`.		11 years ago

Weston

Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a
useful compositor in its own right.  Weston has various backends that
lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as
under X11.  Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple
clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more
complete clients and a simplistic toolkit.  There is also a quite
capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop
shell.  Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server
and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window
manager.

weston and its dependencies.
