As seen in https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=6374f22a4ec4034fc220f621aa854d01c2113101 I'm not sure why this change was done as there is no explaination in the commit message at all (Maybe stuff like firefox relying on non-standard environment variables? Typical of Mozilla to only care for Gnome Wayland, which follows it's own way of doing things). This dependency on sys-auth/consolekit should at least be something that you can toggle off with a USE flag as it's *not* a dependency of sway, and there should be an explaination as to why it's in there. Reproducible: Always
if it's required to launch sway if elogind or logind (via systemd) is not installed isn't it a runtime dep?
(In reply to Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) from comment #1) > if it's required to launch sway if elogind or logind (via systemd) is not > installed isn't it a runtime dep? How is ConsoleKit a requirement? - Sway runs fine without systemd/elogind as well as without ConsoleKit - It's not documented as a dependency of it, the only mention of it that I've found is in https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Startup-(process-manager)-Integration where it's something optional, a bit like using it for X11 window managers or using any login/display manager. - ConsoleKit seems to be just yet another login manager
it was the way https://bugs.gentoo.org/708680 was solved
Sway can work without systemd|elogind|consolekit but in this case the binary must be suid. Consolkit is not mandatory.
