Brian Ashworth 73605dac2a config/output: revamp identifier/name layering
This revamps the way that output configs are handled when referencing
an output by both identifier and name. If an output is always referred
to by name or by identifier, this should have no noticeable change. As
soon as there is a name output config and an identifier output config
that matches an output, an output config is generated that is named
`<identifier> on <name>` that is generated with the identifier output
config merged on top of the name output config and stored. When a
change to either is stored, the delta is merged on top of that
"id on name" output config, as well. If the "id on name" output config
exists, it has the highest precedence and will be used when applying
a config to the output.

This fixes the following case:
- `swaymsg output <name> bg /path/to/wallpaper1 fill`
- `swaymsg output <identifier> bg /path/to/wallpaper2 fill`
- `swaymsg output <name> dpms on`

Without this, the wallpaper is changed to `/path/to/wallpaper1`. With
this, the wallpaper remains `/path/to/wallpaper2`.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 **
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

**optional: required for swaybg

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
