Description

Package name

lxqt-wayland-session

Package homepage

https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-wayland-session

Description

Hello, there is an existing PR related to this, but apparently it wasn't accepted. I tried to install the PR myself in void-packages, but it was incomplete. Then I manually added packages one by one whenever I encountered an error. Afterwards, I noticed that the package build dependencies are exactly the same as lxqt-session. Without this project, wayland support cannot be added to lxqt-session. Since it's a core package of LXQt, wouldn't it be nice if it were added to the repository? I apologize for not being very knowledgeable about github, so I don't know how to add a PR.
