Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, as well
as a useful environment in and of itself.

Out of the box, Weston provides a very basic desktop, or a full-featured
environment for non-desktop uses such as automotive, embedded,
in-flight, industrial, kiosks, set-top boxes and TVs. It also provides a
library allowing other projects to build their own full-featured
environments on top of Weston's core.

A small suite of example or demo clients are also provided: though they
can be useful in themselves, their main purpose is to be an example or
test case for others building compositors or clients.

This is the bleeding edge version of this SlackBuild that is ONLY compatible
with Slackware Current which has been relatively newly PAM-ified as of the
time of writing (May, 2020).

Please see README.SBo for more detailed instructions and information.
