   Description     : library for writing Wayland compositors

Smithay is a library for building Wayland compositors in Rust,
providing abstractions for DRM, GBM, libinput, udev, EGL, and
the Wayland protocol. It supports multiple backends and renderers
through optional features.

Most dependencies are already in Debian. New dependencies that
need packaging are rust-libseat, rust-profiling, and
rust-tracy-client. The existing rust-calloop package will need
an update from 0.13 to 0.14.

This is the core compositor library needed for packaging niri,
(see ITP #1065355).

I will need a sponsor.
