Version 0.18.0 was released on July 4th. I brings wayland support among other improvements. Adding wayland support into the ebuild would require some other python modules to be packaged (specifically pywlroots and pywayland), but it shouldn't be too difficult. Reproducible: Always
Now, it's 0.18.1. And, it would be beneficial to make pulseaudio an optional dependency. I don't use pulseaudio. I prefer pipewire, jack, and alsa to pulseaudio.
I doubt it works natively with pipewire. PulseVolume works through pulseaudio protocol and therefore needs pulseaudio libs. Just build pulseaudio with -daemon USE flag.

(In reply to CarDGee from comment #3) > Created attachment 747933 [details] > qtile live ebuild qtile seems to be the ugly duck of window managers with only 2 main distros packaging it, arch and gentoo, sadly it looks left behind on gentoo these days, I found this live ebuild form https://github.com/flacjacket/gentoo-overlay , the overlay also contains pywlroots pywayland and xkbcommon required for the newer versions of qtile, Credit goes to its author Flacjacket,
I also interested to receiving update for Qtile, so if you're need a tester - I will.

We do have a problem with the Wayland stuff -- the deps seem automagic (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Automagic_dependencies) which means you can't properly disable them if the right deps are installed, and this is particularly problematic (not always an issue with some Pythony bits) because C extensions get built w/ them.
I'm also CCing flacjacket (I think?) to the bug in case they're interested in adopting the package in Gentoo which would be most welcome I think. Last I remember, I spoke to zlogene about qtile and he wasn't too interested in it atm.

Some of the bits were based on the ebuild posted in bug (which itself is from flacjacket overlay).

I've filed bug 846380 for further discussion on the Wayland bits. Please comment there if you have anything to add on that subject.
