Labwc stands for Lab Wayland Compositor, where lab can mean any of the
following:
- sense of experimentation and treading new ground
- inspired by BunsenLabs and ArchLabs
- your favorite pet
Labwc is a wlroots-based window-stacking compositor for wayland,
inspired by openbox.
It is light-weight and independent with a focus on simply stacking
windows well and rendering some window decorations. It takes a
no-bling/frills approach and says no to features such as animations.
It relies on clients for panels, screenshots, wallpapers and so on to
create a full desktop environment.
In order to avoid reinventing configuration and theme syntax, the
openbox 3.6 specification is used. This does not mean that labwc is an
openbox clone but rather that configuration files will look and feel
familiar.
===> The following configuration options are available for labwc-0.20.2:
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
LIBRSVG2=on: SVG vector graphics support via librsvg2
MANPAGES=on: Build and/or install manual pages
NLS=on: Native Language Support
X11=on: X11 (graphics) support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Affects: users of x11-wm/cage, x11-wm/hikari, x11-wm/labwc, x11-wm/sway, x11-wm/wayfire
Author: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
SUID option has been removed in favor of seatd-launch(1) which doesn't
require special handling in every consumer and doesn't bypass group
permissions. If you've already enabled seatd service or use consolekit2
then nothing changes. Otherwise,
$ sway

00:00:00.001 [ERROR] [wlr] [backend/session/session.c:84] Unable to create seat: Function not implemented

can be fixed by
$ ck-launch-session sway
or
$ seatd-launch sway
or
# sysrc seatd_enable=YES
# service seatd start
$ sway
Replace "sway" with your compositor e.g., "cage", "hikari", "labwc", "wayfire".
x11-toolkits/wlroots: always add version suffix
Prevent dependency churn (e.g., 1b744b687e87, 20de9a1b52e1) during
future minor updates. Upstream API is versioned since 0.18, so consumers
and external CI should depend on a pinned package to avoid bumps.

x11-toolkits/wlroots: dedup *_DEPENDS in consumers
LIB_DEPENDS against a port with non-default USE_LDCONFIG can desync
RUN_DEPENDS and BUILD_DEPENDS, leading to incorrectly registered
dependencies when built in a dirty environment.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

textproc/libxml2: bump all LIB_DEPENDS consumers

textproc/libxml2: bump all dependencies
This should make sure that all dependent ports will pick

sysutils/seatd: drop SUID option after b8a20cd29e54
It's not possible to restrict setuid bit to "video" group without also
breaking compositor nesting (e.g., hikari on sway). So, leave setuid
handling to a dedicated executable. seatd-launch works similar to
ck-launch-session by starting the daemon on demand.
x11-wm/labwc: add new port
Labwc is a WIP free, wlroots-based stacking compositor for Wayland.
It has the following aims:
- Be light-weight, small and fast
- Have the look and feel of openbox albeit with a smaller feature set
- Where practicable, use clients to show wall-paper, take screenshots,
and so on
- Stay in keeping with wlroots and sway in terms of approach and
coding style
It is in early development, so expect bugs and missing features.
