wayland support

[hanckmann]

Hi,

When compiling it seems that powerkit depends on X and Xscreensaver.
I am on wayland (sway) and looking for a nice power-manager. Is wayland support planned?

powerkit need to get user idle time from X (mouse/keyboard). I don't use wayland, but if you give me a link to something I can use (a lib or api) on wayland I can take a look.

Frankly, I have no idea.
I just switched to wayland (sway) and I miss a good power manager. So I looked here and was hoping this could work.
I know that wayland has very different methods of working with things like screensavers and such. But, I cannot point you into a direction as I know too little about these things.

Just want to add a note bc I'm also looking for a power manager on sway. Will probably try to make some dirty hacks to powerkit to make it run on wayland when I got time.

These three protocols seems relevant:

• wlr-output-power-management-unstable-v1
• idle-inhibit-unstable-v1
• ext-idle-notify-v1

Though the first one is wlroots-only, which means it only works for comositors like sway, hyprland, etc.
