Hi all,
We originally introduced the sway module to have an up-to-date version
of sway even in older releases. This is no longer necessary, as all
stable releases have a reasonable new version of sway.
In my opinion, we can just get rid of the module, especially given that
modularized packages are still uncommon in Fedora. Do you still have a
use for the module?
I personally have no use for the sway module as I usually am running the
latest Fedora release. However, the module could be very useful for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1784477 (sway for EPEL8). As
a bunch of the dependencies are built time only, they could be easily
included in the module. Also, the ability to set a custom EOL date of
the module would be quite desirable so that it wouldn't have to be
maintained for a decade. But again, I don't run CentOS on a desktop, so
I have no real use case for this, besides some interest how modularity
works.
Cheers,
Dan
