Dear Birger,

do you still consider packaging this? I discovered this today and this
might be the combination of the flexibility of a tiling WM and the
comfort of a DE that I was looking for.
I quickly hacked together a debian package [1] as a first proof of
concept and am running way-shell right now. :)

I packaged and uploaded way-shell in 2025, but it got rejected because it mixes GPL-2 and GPL-3 files which is not allowed:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#AllCompatibility

(Most of the dbus interface files are simply copied from somewhere else without documenting the source or license, I had to do a thorough search to find out where they came from or how they are licensed. I've pushed my package from back then to: https://salsa.debian.org/birger/way-shell)

I think quickshell is a nice alternative which is already in Debian.

cheers,
Birger


Best regards,
Martin
