redshift wayland support
by Dominique Martinet 15 Mar '21

Hi all. I've joined the list at Dan's suggestion, as I will be maintaining waypipe[1] now, and admittedly it could be useful for sway users, so why not. [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe Looking at the SIG page[2] there is a wishlist item for "redshift with wayland support", and as a big user myself I would be all for it. [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Sway The problem is that upstream[3] has not been very active for a while - merged one PR in 2019, but that aside pretty much nothing since 2018. Frankly major DEs (gnome, KDE) incorporate the feature natively so users of redshift on wayland will basically only ever be wlroots-based compositors, so we shouldn't expect to get much help from anywhere on this... I imagine the dev uses gnome as he wrote the gnome-clock location helper redshift-gtk service files, so he's made the switch and hasn't looked back much. [3] https://github.com/jonls/redshift The wayland support issue[4] suggests arch uses minus7's wayland branch[5] but that would appear to still be AUR and they are in the same situation as us (some coprs have it alongside older versions of sway but nothing official). I would suggest the way forward would be to try to discuss with jonls and minus7 if an official fork could start somewhere; either minus7 tree if he is willing to do it or I suppose I could (I also have vested interest, I am also using the stdin remote control patches discussed on this issue[6], so "just" wayland wouldn't be enough for me, and whoever takes over would need to be willing to deal with at least accepting PRs :)) [4] https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/55 [5] https://github.com/minus7/redshift/tree/wayland [6] https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/690 So, what do you folks think? Worth a shot? Cheers, -- Dominique

As the current maintainer of i3, I kinda have to join ;-) As others have already mentioned in the thread: we should look into joining forces with the sway SIG (which I am also a member of). While a lot of the packages of interest are not really shared, the general similarity would allow us to save a lot of time when it comes to QA and the creation of a spin. Maybe we should merge into the tilling window manager SIG? (with a better name of course). Cheers, Dan
