Hi,
I just found in the project page wlc project is going to be abandoned. Is wlc going to be migrate to another project or wlc is totally abandoned?

It's going to be abandoned unless somebody else wants to pick it up. I suggest checking out libweston, or helping with the Sway's wlc replacement efforts.

[Enerccio]

well me and my friend @kozec would be willing

@Enerccio I could give contributor access, or you could fork the project (without actually using the fork button, because github search won't index it then). Latter might be better, if you want to do drastic changes, because I'm still at least keeping wlc in shape so that it doesn't introduce more breaking in sway.

That's really bad, glad to help if I have the time. Le 29 avr. 2017 02:23, "Jari Vetoniemi" <notifications@github.com> a écrit :

@Cloudef ideally I want to improve on it

[Enerccio]

made an official clone of wlc then: https://github.com/Enerccio/wlc

[Cloudef]

I'll link to your clone.

@Enerccio Some thoughts over irc

SirCmpwn :: I'd prefer low maintenance mode over official fork
 Cloudef :: you can still keep using the Cloudef/wlc until you have your own thing
SirCmpwn :: because it's going to cause confusion
       → :: and I'm worried that the libraries are going to diverse
       → :: diverge
       → :: or create backwards incompatabilities
 Cloudef :: I could suggest changing the name
SirCmpwn :: would appreciate that, would also appreciate not making it "official"
 Cloudef :: so there won't be libwlc

Would it be ok to change the name, and make it just "fork".
I'll revert the text on wlc to say that it's going to be abadoned but link to your "unofficial" fork.

[Enerccio]

sure, gotta think about the name though

renamed to ewlc: https://github.com/Enerccio/ewlc
