Sway is a popular tiling Wayland compositor with good FreeBSD support.
Upstream plans to release 1.6 in a few weeks. The update depends on
wlroots >= 0.13 which as usual breaks API. Other consumers like hikari
and Wayfire have been fixed but given time let's test runtime more.
Can you help with testing? See
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/compare/master...jbeich:wlroots-0.13
https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.6-rc1
Example steps for Sway:
$ cd /usr/ports
$ fetch -o /tmp/wlroots-0.13.patch \
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/compare/master...jbeich:wlroots-0.13.patch
$ git am /tmp/wlroots-0.13.patch || patch -Efsp1 -i /tmp/wlroots-0.13.patch
$ make clean all deinstall install INSTALLS_DEPENDS= -C x11-toolkits/wlroots
$ make clean all deinstall install -C x11-wm/sway
Hint: To test Sway 1.5.1 with wlroots 0.13 revert the last commit in the series.
