that's why WaylandServer is not installed. The WaylandClient library is supposed to be ABI stable.

I want to get it into a state that WaylandServer can be ABI stable. But I cannot guarantee that I will be happy with the state for 5.1. It pretty much depends on how fast we get the interfaces implemented. At the moment lots is still stubs which makes it difficult to say "yeah, that API won't change anymore".

For your current need I'd suggest to keep the patch locally to get it working and make proper CMake magic in kscreen. AFAIU you only need the server for the unit test, so the component should only be searched for tests and the respective tests should just not be built if the Component is not found. That way you should be able to write all the tests and they will just work (TM) once this component becomes public.
