Sorry missed that there was fltk1.3 there, as the package where I noticed the missing Wayland support was using fltk1.1. > and per the upstream report's feedback, > Wayland support won't be happening for the 1.3 branch (fltk1.3 source > package), let alone 1.1 (long dead upstream, to be belatedly retired > from Debian post-buster).

Right, and perhaps it might not even end up in fltk1.4 either? I don't think I mind on what release this appears in as long as it does eventually. I see there's still several packages that are clinging onto fltk1.1 for which you've filed migration bugs. > How would you like to proceed? I see the logistic problem of how to track this. If you think this is definitely going to appear in 1.4, then an RFP might be best, otherwise, and if you don't mind, perhaps keeping this assigned to fltk, and reassigning to the series that might gain support, or converting it into an RFP later on might make more sense? But I don't know, do what you think is best. :) Thanks, Guillem
