--- Comment #2 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> ---
Upstream split out cvt(1) and its static library into libxcvt and plans (see
URL) to switch Xorg and Xwayland to it. xwayland-21.2.0 release (about half=
 a
year from now) will contain the change but xorg-server-1.21.0 is "on ice", =
so
the current version will continue to use the internal copy. Wayland users t=
hat
want cvt(1) will need to install xorg-server, not just xwayland{,-devel}
However, that version won't have a fix for
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/707

xwayland-devel will start using libxcvt as soon as upstream merges the chan=
ge,
mutter may follow some time later. This will have no impact on xorg-server =
but
it can (doesn't mean have to) try the same code *without* all the baggage a=
nd
risk a regular update brings.
