Bug#1120711: cage: xwayland should be removed from Depends

Show all headers | View raw

Package: cage
Version: 0.2.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

While xwayland must be enabled at compile time, it is not a requirement at runtime.
I have tested this in a VM by force installing the cage package and running foot with it.
It emits an warning about the Xwayland executable not being present but continues normally.

I posit that xwayland should at least be moved to Recommends.
It could potentially be removed from dependencies altogether, as is the case with sway.
