Bug#841301: ITP: libwlc -- wlc a compositor library for Wayland
Hallo Markus,
seems like sway, the window manager I was targeting to package, is
(was) moving away from wlc
and I think wlc itself was marked as a deprecated project so I decided
to pause my effort until
everything is cleared up. I haven't done any tests for at least 5
months but the biggest one
was sometimes (I think in applications through Xwayland) when you
right clicked somewhere
sway would crash. I think that was wlc bug tho not sure.
I could restart the effort. Should be easy enough.
I could publish the git somewhere and send you access. Could you
please mail me a public ssh key?
I should have something that works® by the day after tomorrow or even
faster if you would prefer
to play with it during debconf.
Have you tried way-cooler at all? Is it usable?
Regards,
Stefanos
