Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 (Nobody) <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 251947: x11-servers/xwayland: deprecate in favor of -devel version https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D251947 --- Description --- I'd like to take maintainership but... only when 1.21.0 is released which m= ay never happen[1]. Given no known working[2] compositor uses this port let's avoid spreading QA too thin. For example, xf86-video-intel gave up on track= ing releases years ago. Fedora 34 plans[3] to use development snapshot(s). Once released xserver may have fewer (if any) hw/xwayland changes in 1.20.*, leaving server-1.20-bran= ch mainly for hw/xfree86 (bare metal). So, my current proposal is to add the following: DEPRECATED=3D Upstream no longer maintains Xwayland on stable branches, use x11-servers/xwayland-devel instead EXPIRATION_DATE=3D 2021-04-01 [1] https://ajaxnwnk.blogspot.com/2020/10/on-abandoning-x-server.html [2] kwin_wayland isn't usable yet, see https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/wayland-plasma-5-16-1-error-no-libinput.= 7127 1/ [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/XwaylandStandalone
