Made my very first packages. Sway window manger desktop for slackware64-current (15.0)
My first half-a????d attempt. They seem to work, but are not well tested. I shamelessly stole from alienbob and the official slackware repos build scripts and kind of butchered them to make them work for me in this instance. They are posted at https://github.com/biker-rat/ .
Thanks man. I wondered about elogind but you called it out in your readme. I got sway working a while ago but didn’t go any further. Thanks for sharing this

No one will take these until I clean them up, which will take me a whole day, as I am a novice at this. They don't work on 14.2 and SBo doesn't do 15.0 (its still in development) yet. When SBo does 15.0, I may clean them up and submit them.
I noticed swaywm 1.5.1 and wlroots 0.12.0 were released about two weeks ago. My slackbuild's still work, but are still a mess. I updated packages for these two. The other packages are unchanged. You should now use vtown elogind & polkit before installing or building these.
I was able to compile swaywm 1.5.1 and wlroots 0.12.0 natively with no issues in current. There are still issues with launching it if you do not use dbus etc. Tray icons show up in about 25% of the cases etc and may not be operable if they even do show up. Swaywm is still very much beta IMO..
Swaywm is supposed to be minimalist. I don't use any tray applets. I call pavucontrol from dmenu to mess with sound settings and nmtui in xfce4-terminal to mess with network settings.
