Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  I've moved wlroots 0.14 to [community-staging]. You may now unpin it if you had done so previously. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The meson.build file for sway specifies a versioned dependency on wlroots. The current stable release of sway (1.6) specifically depends on wlroots version 0.13

I don't know if there are any incompatible changes between wlroots 0.13 and 0.14, if there are then we can't simply rebuild sway. One solution in that scenario might be build sway from a specific git commit that works with the current wlroots version.

I am going to test it out later today, to see if I can just change the meson.build file and build with wlroots 0.14. I'll report back here if it works or not.

I asked on IRC and it seems like the wlroots bump might have been premature as Maxim was waiting for the sway release.

I can confirm that sway 1.6 will not build with wlroots 0.14, I didn't really expect it but still wanted to give it a try.


For now I suppose the best solution is to not update wlroots as there is not really much that can be done by the Arch devs. I would suggest to not move wlroots out of testing to avoid a lot of noise on the forums.

I apologize for this; I had updated wlroots in [community-testing] expecting sway to be updated shortly after. I had updated the repo database after changing an different package. Upon reflection it usually does take a few days for upstream to cut a new release.

Sorry!

You can pull the package from [community-testing] if sway ends up taking longer for a release :)

This is why staging exists. :p
