  Description     : dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots

- From the readme: 
" 
Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
It supports multiple layouts, fancy effects, has a very flexible IPC model allowing for a lot of customization, a powerful plugin system and more.
"

Packaging-wise it'll be complicated. hyprland embeds multiple subprojects [0]. hyprland-protocols [1] would need to be a seperate source package; this is easily doable from a
quick glance. A fork of udis86 [2] is also embedded; coincidently I prepared some initial udis86 packaging for ppsspp so this won't be that much of an issue.
The third embedded project is wlroots [3] which will be the biggest problem imo as hyprland (statically) links onto the latest wlroots HEAD which will be hard to
devendor, if not impossible. 

I built hyprland locally and ran it for a bit; it looks promising but still has some (minor) bugs and quirks imo.
I don't have time to package or maintain this atm but I might get back to it at some point.
This bugreport is to document the progress/work needed for hyprland.

Upstream for Hyprland provides a source tarball with all its submodules
packaged together. I intend to package them as-is and not separate out wlroots
(don't know if that would even be possible; a custom wlroots binary is built
and linked against during the build process).

hi,

excluding the wlroots copy might be impossible. However, the udis86, 
tracy and hyprland-protocols projects should really be excluded.

I prepared packaging for udis86 here: 
https://salsa.debian.org/werdahias/udis86-wip

and for hyprland-protocols here: 
https://salsa.debian.org/werdahias/hyprland-protocols

This needs some updating maybe but should be a good starting base anyway.

best,

be warned though that upstream is *not*  pleasant to work with.

Hi,

Thanks for the heads up. I am still working on structuring all this 
properly.

So far, this is what I have:

https://salsa.debian.org/NyxTrail/hyprland


Regarding the sub-packages, udis86 seems to be based on a fork of 
another project of the same name:

https://github.com/canihavesomecoffee/udis86 (hyprland depends on this one)

https://github.com/vmt/udis86 (this one is the original project)

There does not seem to be any official releases upstream (udis86) for 
the commit Hyprland depends on (commit: 5336633). In fact, their 
(udis86) latest release seems to be v1.7.2, on Sep 2 2013.

Considering how Hyprland likes to declare their dependencies based on 
non-release commits, I do not think we can depend on any release 
versions of these packages.


I have successfully moved libwlroots.so.* to a "private" directory under 
/usr/lib/hyprland and updated the RPATH on the Hyprland binary to 
reflect that. This seems to work fine so far.


It might be possible to exclude tracy (may be even remove it?), but I 
haven't explored this yet. In this case, the commit Hyprland references 
does have a release version. But, may be we should not depend on that?


Finally, the build output for hyprland-protocols are a few header files. 
So far I have been trying to include these in a 'hyprland-dev' package 
along with everything else under the 'installheaders' Make target.

If required, I think it should be trivial to move these headers to a 
hyprland-protocols-dev package.`


As I mentioned before, the source tarball from Hyprland includes the 
source for all these submodules.

Perhaps these modules should be considered a part of Hyprland itself 
since they are included verbatim in the source package? They also do not 
seem to generate any binaries (or other artifacts) that might pollute 
the rest of the system.


Let me know if you have any thoughts/feedback. This is my first time 
building a package :)


Thanks,

Alan (NyxTrail)

Yeah, my packaging uses that one because it builds ootb whereas the 
original does not.

at least for udis86 (the fork) and hyprland-protocols this should be 
doable easily.

Debian policy states that one should exclude if possible:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#embedded-code-copies

iirc the hyprland-protocols is also tagged at a specific release 
corresponding to the commit; fwiw you can package everything in one 
source package and explore devendoring later as long as you document 
everything properly in d/copyright. I'd suggest you can start with 
hyprland-protocols; you can set the specific commit as version number.

Feel free to ask in case you got any questions.
