Welcome!

This fork of the FreeBSD Ports Collection adds more bleeding edge desktop-related patches.

NOTE: this is the new lite/lite-gnome branch, which is constantly rebased on top of master/gnome-*.

• Make sure you have an up-to-date FreeBSD 13-CURRENT kernel and base
• Clone this repo into /usr/ports (if it's already managed by git, add this repo as a remote, fetch and checkout/merge)
• Build any ports you want :)

A port for Weston is developed in D10599, but I use Weston directly from my fork. It has a bit of extra stuff beyond FreeBSD support (fractional HiDPI scaling, bugfixes), and it's master, not a release.

How to use Weston:

• Install Mesa, wayland, libinput, etc (preferably from here, but a lot has been merged/enabled upstream recently)
• Install Weston from my fork
• Install loginw (cargo build --release, cp target/release/loginw /usr/local/bin/)
• Make loginw suid root
• Make sure you have an XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in the environment
• Unless you have the sysctl evdev kernel patch (see below under libudev-devd), give yourself rw permissions on /dev/input/*
• Run loginw weston!

• devel/consolekit2: drm/evdev support D18754

• graphics/mesa-dev: alternative mesa port! Development version (little fork with my BSD patches), everything built together, using Meson! Always includes GL, GLES, Vulkan (RADV, ANV), Gallium Nine, OpenCL (Clover), VDPAU, VAAPI.
  • to install and keep pkg happy without rebuilding everything, just pkg add -f over existing mesa-libs/dri
  • but if you want to do it properly, define MESA_DRI_PORT=graphics/mesa-dev and MESA_LIBS_PORT=graphics/mesa-dev in make.conf and rebuild dependent ports
    • synth is the recommended port upgrade tool, it does try to fetch binary packages when a rebuild is not necessary
  • multimedia/libva has the glx part split off into multimedia/libva-glx to avoid circular dependency with mesa
• graphics/colord: build vapi 227134
• graphics/wayland-protocols: 1.17

NOTE: ANV (Intel Vulkan) requires running the apps as root and might not work for complex applications. RADV (Radeon Vulkan) with the amdgpu KMS/DRM driver works very well! Tested on an AMD Polaris (RX 480) GPU.
