Hallo Markus, seems like sway, the window manager I was targeting to package, is (was) moving away from wlc and I think wlc itself was marked as a deprecated project so I decided to pause my effort until everything is cleared up. I haven't done any tests for at least 5 months but the biggest one was sometimes (I think in applications through Xwayland) when you right clicked somewhere sway would crash. I think that was wlc bug tho not sure.
I could restart the effort. Should be easy enough. I could publish the git somewhere and send you access. Could you please mail me a public ssh key? I should have something that works® by the day after tomorrow or even faster if you would prefer to play with it during debconf. Have you tried way-cooler at all? Is it usable?
