Description Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-02-10 19:17:32 UTC 
Upstream is dead https://github.com/jonls/redshift and many reports of basic functionality broken. There are multiple forks so perhaps switch to one of those?

    accessibility/redshift: Deprecate and set expiration date to 2024-06-30

    No upstream activity for the past 4 years, a lot of bug reports upstream
    and doesn't support wayland. Redirect users to accessibility/sct and there's
    also https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep (not ported).

Our redshift port does support Wayland since bug 242130. gammastep is a fork that integrated the same patch (to help other distros), fixed a few bugs but not much else i.e., no new changes for ~2 years since 2022-09-12.

accessibility/sct doesn't support Wayland either. For Wayland via wlroots there're accessibility/wlsunset and accessibility/wl-gammarelay-rs. For Wayland in GNOME (Night Light) and Plasma (Night Color) it's builtin.
Comment 5 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-06-06 21:56:10 UTC 
Correct, sct is only for non Wayland which I could've phrased better. Thanks for the headsup regarding available utilities for Wayland. I'll update the deprecation message accordingly.
