Closing because it's a 0.15 issue.

Closing because it's a 0.15 issue.

Read the article i said that i used 9999 version which is using the latest git at the time..

Based on sway github issues most of issues is ignored by the sway developers so it's probably better to keep it to closed.. I'm not sure if i want to contribute to seemingly abadonware..

No, 9999 still builds the 0.15 branch, not the master branch.

We don't have time to afford investigating all issues. I already spend most of my free time working on Sway and other open-source projects, and it's the case of many contributors too. Keep in mind that sway is not a product, it's a collaborative project, so don't expect commercial support.

You can help us by sending pull requests instead of opening issues. If you really can't investigate your issue, you can always support @SirCmpwn on Patreon.

I wouldn't call a project abandonware when 41 pull requests have been merged since last week.

Noted, afaik most of 9999 builds is mirror to the github not sure why its limited on this ebuild. My bad then.

I'm aware of that thats the point of FOSS, but since the response took so long i assumed that none is maintaining sway and when i look last time the last commit was long ago too..
