Hi, Guillem.

That's a fair request, but alas doesn't have a good formal home in
Debian at the moment -- I've been using a separate source package for
each upstream release series, 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).  I expect it would be non-trivial to backport
even to 1.3.

I suppose I could construe this report as an RFP for fltk1.4, but that
code base hasn't yet either had an official upstream release or gained
Wayland support.

How would you like to proceed?

Hi!

I've just switched to use Wayland (after several previous attempts),
and I noticed one of the remaining items on my system that require
using the Xwayland compatibility X11 server is this library.

Given that the X.Org server is apparently pretty much dead, that other
distributions are also switching to Wayland and that most mainstream
desktop environments now support this natively. It would be nice to
have fltk support this too.

Filing this to be able to track the progress in Debian, which I expect
will become more visible sooner rather than later. :)

Thanks,
Guillem
