I still think it’d be better to spend time on merging gaps rather than packaging gaps, but it seems like nobody has the skill set and/or motivation.
Is there someone who would continuously maintain i3-gaps in Debian? I wouldn’t want that package to diverge from upstream i3 in terms of which version is available in Debian. I’m asking in particular because people might switch from X11+i3 to Wayland+sway over the next few years.
