Request port of dwl (wayland/dwl)
Hi I would like to ask whether anyone would be interested in porting and maintaining dwl for OpenBSD. dwl is a small Wayland compositor based on wlroots, written to fill the same role on Wayland that dwm fills on X11: one C source file, configured through config.h, with few dependencies. It is already packaged on FreeBSD as x11-wm/dwl. On OpenBSD, wlroots 0.20 is already in the ports tree, and mango, a compositor forked from dwl, is available as wayland/mango. I currently run mango on a ThinkPad T490 with OpenBSD 7.9, and it works. Still, I would prefer plain dwl: it is smaller, closer to dwm, and easier to read and patch, which fits the OpenBSD approach well. Since dwm users are used to building from source with their own config.h, a port that installs the default build and keeps the source easy to patch would already be very useful. I am not able to maintain the port myself, but I am happy to test it on amd64 and report back. Thank you for your time and your work on OpenBSD. Best regards
