I believe using a COPR is best because this is a one time transition
period. Once f31 is released, sway will be updated just like everything
else. If the sway packages had made f30 I would have said to not even
bother with a COPR, but I forget that not everyone upgrades immediately.
Yeah modules is uncharted territory for me too. I'm thinking
along to
lines that to get to a module we at least need a COPR for testing.
I will have to be pretty much a permanent fixture so there's no question
about where to get the correct version of the handful of packages that
needs to be tested together.
I found skimming over the modules docs interesting as somebody also new to
them:
