I found evdev-proto, which includes linux/input.h, was added a few months ago. It seems that many ports has been gradually switched to use it after it was added. However, I also remember there was a patch in ports to modify GTK3 to use dev/evdev/input.h from base instead of linux/input.h from ports. I wonder which one should be preferred now. The GTK3 patch mentioned above was added about a year ago: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/465644 After seeing the patch in ports, I submitted it to GTK upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/merge_requests/132 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/merge_requests/133 Since software supporting Wayland are likely to require linux/input.h, is there a policy on dealing with the dependency on linux/input.h? It seems to me that evdev-proto was added specifically to address the issue, so I guess we should just install evdev-proto, stop patching linux/input.h to dev/evdev/input.h, stop submitting this kind of patch to upstream projects and tell upstream it is fine to use linux/input.h on FreeBSD. Is it correct?
