Name

sway, labwc

Version

1.10

Summary of the problem

Our sway and labwc packages depend on other components that aren't strictly necessary for their operation.

More information

This was probably done because, when this was done, no one could foresee that the components used by sway would also be used by other desktop environments. For example, for Budgie Wayland, we also want to use swayidle. This becomes a problem because it forces us to install packages and programs that we may not want; for Budgie, I want to use swayidle and labwc, but I want to use gtklock instead of swaylock. Because of the set runtime dependencies, I am stuck with both.

I would propose removing these runtime dependencies from both packages, and in the case of Sway, create a new "session" package that then depends on the desired packages like swayidle, swaylock, etc. This would enable other desktops to easily compose their experiences, while still having a decent session for Sway.

CC'ing @Facundo-c-c as the listed maintainer for labwc for their thoughts.
