Hello,
This patchset updates and improves various packages related to screen
sharing/screeshotting on Wayland, and especially wlroots-based
compositors.
I can get screensharing working in icecat on sway by manually starting
pipewire then wireplumber (and then xdg-desktop-portal-wlr followed by
xdg-desktop-portal if they're not installed in your profile, otherwise
your user DBus session will launch them automatically), and starting
icecat with
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(./pre-inst-env guix build
pipewire)/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" icecat`
since the pipewire library is dlopened by libwebrtc rather than
statically or dynamically linked. We could possibly add this to the
icecat package, as it has a wrapper doing a similar thing for other
libraries.
Another way to test screensharing without icecat would be to use this
python script [1], using `guix shell python python-pygobject
gst-plugins-bad pipewire python-dbus -- python3 xdp-screen-cast.py`.
I also took the liberty to patch xdg-desktop-portal-wlr's
screenshotting process, as it simply execl'd to slurp and grim. Along
with an update to flameshot, I can use the latter properly on sway as
well.
Best,
Josselin
