Hello Mo,
May I address you Mo?
I am happy to co-maintain hyprland with you. :)
The ITP for hyprland[0] was created by werdahias@ who had created an
initial skeleton for the packaging a while ago. Under his advise,
I decided to de-vendor all of udis86, tracy and hyprland-protocols.
As far as I understand, the Debian policy recommends de-vendoring
over including files from other sources.
I have been working on this for a while and just uploaded them all
to mentors and created RFS for them. Currently I have completed
packaging hyprland and all its dependencies to the best of my ability.
Regarding the points you shared:
1. I wasn't sure what to do with tracy. I have however de-vendored
it and created an RFS for it[1]. But, I am unable to get the GPU
traces working on my AMD RX 6600 (for a debug build of Hyprland with
tracy enabled). I am not sure if this is because of my device or
something else. I have seen some discussion upstream that tracy's
GPU traces are not always reliable.
Tracy seems to work fine, otherwise.
2. I have de-vendored udis86 too. The library and the included CLI
seems to run fine. Here is the RFS[2].
3. Again, I have separated hyprland-protocols and the RFS is here[3].
You can find the VCS for all hyprland related stuff I did, under the
NyxTrail namespace in salsa[4].
The packages all seem to run fine so far.
This is my first time packaging for Debian and any feedback is
welcome.
Let me know how you wish to proceed.
Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan,
Thank you for your work!
I did not check the ITP bugs before we make overlapping efforts:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hyprlang
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hyprland
I just rushed the two packages within a short time the last night.
They work properly on Sid with my laptop.
I have uploaded hyprlang to NEW without checking ITP
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/hyprlang_0.5.0-1~exp1.html
The hyprland is still pending as I've not yet finished
the debian/copyright part.
In terms of build depends of hyprland:
1. tracy is optional. USE_TRACY is by default off. We can build
the package without tracy.
2. the udis86 is embedded in the upstream tarball as well.
Maybe we can keep it embedded as udis86 is only needed by
hyprland
3. hyprland-protocols is also embedded. I suppose it is ok
to keep this specific project, instead of splitting the
package to increase the required amount of work.
Shall we merge our work and co-maintain this?
