Dear gamescope maintainers,

wlroots upstream has released version 0.20.0:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/releases/0.20.0

We intend to upload wlroots 0.20 to unstable in the next days, it is
currently available in experimental.

As wlroots 0.20 is not API compatible with 0.19, some action by you
and/or upstream may be needed.
See the 0.20.0 release page or this page (both lists are the same):

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/work_items/3977

for a list of the breaking changes for compositors.

An automatic tracker for the wlroots 0.20 transition can be found here:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-wlroots.html

Please close this bug with appropriate version information if you think
your package is suitable for the wlroots 0.20 migration. If you need
more time to prepare for the migration please let us know.

Hi,

Currently gamescope builds fine with wlroots 0.20 in experimental. And
quick tests in games didn't reveal any issues. So feel free to
increase severity when 0.20 is gonna be in unstable. We will try to
look for upstream patches for full transition but even now I think
it's ok to upload as is

Hi,

Excellent, thanks.

FYI and AFAICT, upstream is actually still at wlroots 0.18:

Upstream's ``submodules/wlroots`` points to
https://github.com/misyltoad/wlroots/tree/54e844748029d4874e14d0c086d50092c04c8899
and then ``meson.build`` indicates wlroots 0.18.
Also https://github.com/misyltoad/wlroots is forked from
https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots which has been archived on 2021-11-02.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/ is the new upstream
repo location.

OTOH, it looks like upstream has the (IMO) most qualified help to
(initially) upgrade to 0.19 and later probably to 0.20 ... (one of)
the upstream maintainers of wlroots itself :-)

Hi,

Yea, I am actively monitoring these PRs.

I am currently in the process of packaging a new upstream version, and
I am wondering if it would help with your transition if this version
could be built on wlroots 0.19 or 0.20? Practically it's of course
would still be built with 0.19 because 0.20 is not in unstable yet

FWIW: I just recommended to upload wlroots 0.20 to Unstable here:
https://salsa.debian.org/swaywm-team/wlroots/-/merge_requests/52#note_748430

So if you want to use/target wlroots 0.19, do it (really) quickly.
Otherwise, wait till 0.20 gets uploaded to Unstable and target that for
your new upstream version. It's up to you.

FTR: Guido Günther is (one of) the maintainer(s), so they'll make the
actual decision. I'm just helping out.

Hi,

It seems to me everything is ready?
https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/gamescope/-/commits/debian/latest

So it's just waiting for an actual release, right?

Hi!

Yes, I am just waiting when DD can upload it
