Sway is an i3-compatible window manager for Wayland. https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway
Not sure if it should go to dev-libs/ category, so I omitted category from summary for now.
Given that there is no category for wayland-related applications, and that Weston - the reference Wayland compositor - is in dev-libs, it makes sense to keep them together until there are enough wayland applications to warrant a separate category.
Weston indeed install libraries among other things. sway does too?
(In reply to Coacher from comment #3) > Weston indeed install libraries among other things. sway does too? No, sway does not install any libraries. But there is no category for wayland window managers.
(In reply to Jasen Borisov from comment #4) Then I'd expect sway to be in x11-wm category for now. Rationale: - existing Wayland compositors[1] than are not in DE-specific categories are in x11-wm category. Examples: enlightment, muffin, mutter. - despite architectural differences between Wayland and X11, X11 window managers and Wayland compositors have many similarities from _the user's perspective_. Obviously, the final decision is up to you. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_display_servers#Wayland
