# Input Leap
|
|
|
|
This overlay has a working, updated version of Input Leap, a fork of
|
|
Barrier (itself a fork of Synergy), which is a "virtual KVM switch",
|
|
allowing you to share a keyboard and mouse between several computers
|
|
over the network.
|
|
|
|
The most important things about Input Leap:
|
|
- Maintained.
|
|
- Supports Wayland.
|
|
|
|
## Project Status
|
|
|
|
Input Leap is technically alpha quality, because it does not yet have a
|
|
stable release. Thus, the ebuild is a `9999` version ebuild.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
To use this overlay's version of Input Leap, unmask the following packages:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dev-libs/libportal::projectmoon
|
|
x11-misc/input-leap::projectmoon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then add the package accept keywords:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dev-libs/libportal::projectmoon
|
|
x11-misc/input-leap::projectmoon **
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*The double star allows unstable git builds.*
|
|
|
|
## USE Flags
|
|
|
|
This ebuild of Input Leap supports Wayland integration via `libei`, on
|
|
supported compositors (notably, wlroots is apparently not supported by
|
|
upstream). To use the `libei` integration, you must have a version of
|
|
`libportal` with Input Capture support, which at time of writing
|
|
(libportal 0.7.1) is not yet released.
|
|
|
|
This overlay contains a custom ebuild of `dev-libs/libportal` that can
|
|
enable Input Capture. The patch is cherry-picked from the upstream
|
|
commits.
|
|
|
|
To configure Input Leap to use `libei` for Wayland support, add the
|
|
following USE declarations:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dev-libs/libportal inputcapture
|
|
x11-misc/input-leap wayland
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that `inputcapture` is NOT a USE flag on the main Gentoo ebuild. So
|
|
if you haven't unmasked this overlay's version of `libportal`, you will
|
|
receive an error when trying to install Input Leap.
