Oh sorry, that was my fault: I have read ITP (Intend to package) but
this unfortunately only a RFP yet.

Sorry for the spam,
Jan

Hey,

it is very nice that someone want to take care of sway for Debian :)

What is the current status of the packaging process?

Best regards,
Jan

This sounds fairly sane.

Would be nice to prevent it from getting into stable prior to 1.0, but
post 1.0 I'm fine with it.

I'm glad you're asking…! :)

Not neccessarily:

At first, sway will be uploaded to "unstable" and unstable is actually quite
very uptodate. After some days and if it's free from bugs of severity
"serious" and higher, it will automatically migrate to "testing".

So unstable and testing are actually usually quite uptodate and people run
unstable and testing and they are used to create a number of popular
derived distros, *buntu is one of them. So it's useful to have sway
there and updated regularily.

And then, there will be a freeze of testing at the end of this year and
then sometime next year testing will be declared "stable". stable is
free of major changes (well, except for firefox and the kernel and
some…) and in general only receives security fixes.

One easy way of preventing sway from being released as stable is to file
a RC bug to prevent it from entering "testing".

Bug#821397: RFP: sway -- i3-compatible window manager for Wayland

2016-04-18 Thread Drew DeVault 
Not sure how the Debian process works, so forgive me if I'm
misunderstanding anything.

My concern is that Debian is slow and sway is <1.0 right now. Will sway
ship with Debian 9 or such and then I'll be receiving bug reports about
version 0.* for years?

Sway is a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager, but for Wayland
instead of X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and
supports most of i3's features, and a few extras.
