>Since this was packaged in preparation for swayosd (which I would like to see packaged in debian) I think the best way forward here is to vendor gtk-layershell(-sys) and its gtk3-rs related deps in (for swayosd) and remove it from debian.
GTK3-rs is eol upstream and building "mixed" is a good compromise imho until upstream switches to gtk4-layershell.
I will try to prepare a MR for Maythams WIP packaging which does that. best, -- Matthias Geiger <werdahias> Debian Maintainer "Freiheit ist immer Freiheit des anders Denkenden" -- Rosa Luxemburg
