Description:
============
Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine
using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited
from the Metacity window manager.
While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For
this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used both
to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management
behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

Packager's Notes:
=================
This package is based on the f28 branch of the main mutter package, and has
been cleaned up for best practices and new Guidelines. The package is needed as
a compat package for gala, wingpanel, and future versions pantheon-greeter due
to an API and ABI bump in mutter with versions 3.29.4+ (libmutter-2 ->
libmutter-3).
In addition, I've added Conflicts tags to the packages where they conflict with
the main mutter package. It looks like gala does not require any of mutter's
data files to be present, but only requires the shared libraries (and possibly
GSettings keys, etc.) - that's why I split them out into a new -libs
sub-package. It boils down to this:
- mutter328-devel is only needed as BuildRequires for gala and
pantheon-greeter. This package is not parallel-installable with mutter-devel
3.30 in f29 and rawhide (this is expected).
- mutter328-libs is only needed as runtime requirement of gala, wingpanel, and
pantheon-greeter. This package is parallel-installable with mutter 3.30 in f29
and rawhide, and depends on the main mutter package for the data files (e.g.
GSettings schemas).
- mutter328 and mutter328-tests are expected to conflict with the main mutter
package, and should never be installed manually (and should not be pulled in as
dependencies automatically).
I checked that this works as expected with rebuilt packages from my COPR
repositories (decathorpe/elementary-staging for stable builds,
decathorpe/elementary-nightly for builds from git master).
