Building hyprland with wlroots release

[b1rger]

Hi,

I'm thinking about packaging hyprland for Debian. At the moment, hyprland uses an unreleased version of wlroots. Is this only a temporary workaround and will hyprland switch back to a wlroots release at some point? Embedded code copies in Debian are only allowed in exceptional cases, so having a custom copy of an unreleased library as part of a package will not be possible. If hyprland plans to switch back to use a released version of wlroots, I could upload a packaged version.

See #302.

We have no plans to use tagged wlroots. You can statically link against wlroots if building with meson, although that of course will still require pretty recent releases of wayland-protocols, libwayland and (usually the number one offender) libdrm.
