sway

"SirCmpwn's Wayland window manager"

sway is an i3-compatible window manager for Wayland.

It's a work in progress, proceed at your own risk.

Chat on #sway on irc.freenode.net

Rationale

I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and i3way still has zero lines of source code after two years.

Dependencies:

Notably missing: weston is not required.

cmake .
make
# sudo make install

Binary shows up in ./bin (or /usr/bin if you make install).

mkdir ~/.sway
cp ~/.i3/config ~/.sway/config

sway

If you run this while xorg is running, it'll run inside of an x window (useful for testing). Otherwise, it'll run wayland properly.
