Hi, The current ebuild for x11-misc/i3blocks RDEPENDS on either x11-i3 or x11-i3-gaps, which is OK, but there are other window managers which are compatible with it. I'm at least aware of dev-libs/sway, which, although still marked as unstable, should probably be listed as a valid option. I would therefore change > || ( x11-wm/i3 x11-wm/i3-gaps )" for > || ( x11-wm/i3 x11-wm/i3-gaps dev-libs/sway )" Could you please update it if you think this is relevant? Cheers
Why have these at all if it's the user's choice to pick one? It's just an `emerge` call away.

Well, I guess the idea came from the fact that i3-blocks won't do anything _by itself_, but sure, it's not really possible to keep track of all compatible wm's anyway, so removing this part of the RDEPEND and maybe adding a note in the ebuild description would certainly be fine.
