Description : output-mirroring tool for wlroots-based Wayland
desktops
wl-mirror is a tool to add output mirroring to sway and other
wlroots-based Wayland compositors. wl-mirror requires the export-dmabuf
or screencopy protocols to work.
## Extended Description
wl-mirror basically fills a usability hole in sway and other
wlroots-based compositors, since you without wl-mirror or a similar
tool, you cannot easily hold presentations with a projector since there
is absolutely no support for mirroring your screen instead of extending
it.
## Packaging
This is my first Debian package, so I might have some questions about
packaging, but the "How to Package" guides from the Debian wiki should
be enough.
I already have a proof-of-concept Debian package, but that might need a
little bit more work to meet Debian guidelines.
## Maintenance
I intend to maintain this package myself, updating it whenever I find
bugs in wl-mirror, when I release a new version (for next Debian
release...), or when changes become necessary for Debian releases.
