Subject: qtile definitions to make it runs on wayland

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When I run `qtile -b wayland` qtile gives an error, it does not find the
wlroots library. I could package some dependencies and then make some
changes on the official qtile recipe. I don't know how to send a patch, but
I will append my-qtile (based on the official one) and its additional
dependencies to run on wayland.

Additional dependencies for
qtile-wayland: python-pywlroots, python-pywayland, python-xkbcommon.
wlroots-0.17 needs to build qtile-wayland and python-pywlroots, the last
version on guix gives error.
qtile and pywlroots staff like to use "/usr/include" to find pixman and
libdrm headers, I use (substitute* to give the guix path after 'unpack
phase.
