wlroots 0.14.0 is coming to rawhide
by Aleksei Bavshin 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Greetings, wlroots 0.14.0 was released this week with a lot of bugfixes, new pixman software renderer for not-so-recent hardware and continuation of renderer refactoring. As usual, the update is API and ABI breaking and all dependent packages must be rebuilt. I'll be taking care of all rebuilds except `cage`, `labwc` and `wayfire`. I'll notify maintainers of those packages additionally (and send a PR with compatibility patches for `labwc`) once the side-tag is ready. `phoc` will continue using wlroots0.12 compat package; no actions required here. Rawhide update ETA is in a week from this message or when all the required builds are complete. -- Best regards, Aleksei Bavshin

config: Don't modify upstream config file
by Delta Echo 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

Sway's default config file provided by upstream sets a background image, the image is provided as part of the sway package and it is placed in the correct location. But the default config file for Sway shipped by Fedora modifies it and points to a file that doesn't come with the Sway package, which causes Sway to display an error after it launches.

User Friendly Wofi Documentation

Hi, Nice to see movement towards a Sway spin, finally. Although I am kinda satisfied with rudimentary settings (tty login and no-fancy apps like aerc email client, and claws-mail for example). Eventually, there is more to a Spin than few individual preferences. I discovered Wofi (the Rofi-like launcher built for wlroots). I want give it a try but I don't know where to start. I learned Rofi from thinkering with published themes and configuration files. Is anyone here using Wofi? How did you do it? Regards Onyeibo

Enabling libseat session backend in rawhide
by Aleksei Bavshin 01 Jun '21

01 Jun '21

In accordance with upstream's development direction[1][2][3], I'm planning to enable libseat[4] session backend for rawhide build of wlroots in the next few weeks. The change should not affect any users of wlroots-0.13.0 and will not change API or ABI. *However*, if your workflow involves using custom pam stack without pam_systemd and granting suid to the `/usr/bin/sway` or any other compositor binary, please contact me so I could adjust libseat build-time options accordingly. Currently it's built with systemd-logind backend only.
