Bug#841301: ITP: libwlc -- wlc a compositor library for Wayland

Hello,

I have made a few prototype packages and seems to be not that difficult.

There are a few issues however:

1) in the latest released version it does not seem to detect the installed wayland-protocols package and instead uses the one bundled with it but it is fixed in master

2) libchck is not packaged for debian thus it must be included in the source package

3) I have not taken the time to make shlib definitions yet

4) While the whole libwlc/sway seems to mostly work it has a few show stopping bugs that propably should be addressed first before even thinking about <testing>

May I ask why do you ask? Do you wish to help with packaging/developing it? Or are you just hoping to use it?

Hey,

nice that someone want to package the library :)

What is the current status of the ITP?

Best regards,
Jan
