The ebuild for sway-0.15.0 states: RDEPEND="... >=dev-libs/json-c-0.12.1 ..." However, in the package's archive, the CMakeLists.txt says: find_package(JsonC 0.12.1 REQUIRED) As a consequence, now that json-c-0.13 has landed, the sway-0.15 configuration process fails complaining about being unable to find json-c-0.12.1. I've tested whether sway-0.15 would actually work with json-c-0.13, despite of what its CMakeLists.txt says, by just modifying it to say find_package(JsonC 0.13 REQUIRED) and I can confirm that it configured, built and installed fine with that change. Of course, this is probably far from the proper thing to do (I'm not really that much into CMake), but I guess in order to prevent merge failures, it would be wise to either change the RDEPEND of the ebuild so that it asks for =dev-libs/json-c-0.12.1 explicitly (like the CMakeLists.txt does) or - even better - patch the sway build process so that it works with the current version of json-c that is in the tree, too.
A fix exists and will appear in the next release: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/1517 > This has been merged into the 0.15 branch and will make the next bugfix release.
