Isaac Freund 33fb7725c5 river: send SIGTERM to init command process group 
Run the init command in a new process group and send SIGTERM to the
entire group on exit. Without doing this, only the sh invocation used
for the `sh -c` would receive SIGTERM.

This is particularly useful when starting a per-session server manager
as the init command.

README.md

river

river is a dynamic tiling wayland compositor that takes inspiration from dwm and bspwm.

Note: river is currently early in development. Expect breaking changes and missing features. If you run into a bug don't hesitate to open an issue

Design goals

  • Simplicity and minimalism, river should not overstep the bounds of a window manager.
  • Window management based on a stack of views and tags.
  • Dynamic layouts generated by external, user-written executables. (A default rivertile layout generator is provided.)
  • Scriptable configuration and control through a custom wayland protocol and separate riverctl binary implementing it.

Building

Packaging status

On cloning the repository, you must init and update the submodules as well with e.g.

git submodule update --init

To compile river first ensure that you have the following dependencies installed:

  • zig 0.7.1
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols
  • wlroots 0.13.0
  • xkbcommon
  • libevdev
  • pixman
  • pkg-config
  • scdoc (optional, but required for man page generation)

Note: NixOS users may refer to the Building on NixOS wiki page

Then run, for example:

zig build -Drelease-safe --prefix /usr install

To enable experimental Xwayland support pass the -Dxwayland option as well.

Usage

River can either be run nested in an X11/wayland session or directly from a tty using KMS/DRM.

On startup river will look for and run an executable file at one of the following locations, checked in the order listed:

  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/river/init
  • $HOME/.config/river/init
  • /etc/river/init

Usually this executable init file will be a shell script invoking riverctl to create mappings and preform other configuration.

An example init script with sane defaults is provided here in the example directory and installed to /etc/river/init.

For complete documentation see the river(1), riverctl(1), and rivertile(1) man pages.

Development

If you are interested in the development of river, please join us at #river on freenode. You should also read CONTRIBUTING.md if you intend to submit patches.
