Hi,

while the recent phoc / phosh releases "work" on current Debian unstable
they require patches to work properly (e.g. not show splash screens
longer than needed or not showing them at all, blocking the shell on
startup) see

   https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.14.0#required-patches-on-other-projects

The wlroots patches are an ABI break so I intend to cherry pick them
onto 0.14.0 before uploading to unstable (currently in experimental) and
adding proper Breaks on sway / phoc so we don't need another ABI /
package name change and hence NEW processing.

This leaves mostly the glib patches. I don't think they qualify for the
2.70.x series. So should we leave phosh in experimental until the next glib
release? Are there other options?

Cheers,
 -- Guido
