15.0 > Desktop > qtile (0.33.0)

Qtile is a full-featured, hackable tiling window manager (X11 or
Wayland) written and configured in Python. Qtile is simple, small, and
extensible - it is easy to write your own layouts, widgets and built-in
commands.

python3-xcffib must be installed before python3-cairocffi.

python3-dbus-fast is an optional dependency for qtile.
It sends notifications through dbus - please additionally install a
notification daemon such as dunst for displaying notifications on qtile.

This SlackBuild does not provide Wayland support. Slackware 15.0 is only
able to build wlroots 0.15. qtile >= 0.26.0 requires wlroots >= 0.17
(which cannot be built with Slackware 15).

To enable DBus support when starting up qtile using a login manager
(ex. sddm), pass DBUS=yes to the SlackBuild:
DBUS=yes ./qtile.SlackBuild

To enable ConsoleKit and DBus support when starting up qtile using a
login manager, pass CK=yes to the SlackBuild:
CK=yes ./qtile.SlackBuild

This requires: python3-cairocffi, python3-setuptools-scm-opt, python3-xcffib
