Description:
### Package name

gamescope

### Package homepage

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope

### Description

In an embedded session usecase, gamescope does the same thing as steamcompmgr, but with less extra copies and latency:

    It's getting game frames through Wayland by way of Xwayland, so there's no copy within X itself before it gets the frame.
    It can use DRM/KMS to directly flip game frames to the screen, even when stretching or when notifications are up, removing another copy.
    When it does need to composite with the GPU, it does so with async Vulkan compute, meaning you get to see your frame quick even if the game already has the GPU busy with the next frame.

It also runs on top of a regular desktop, the 'nested' usecase steamcompmgr didn't support.

    Because the game is running in its own personal Xwayland sandbox desktop, it can't interfere with your desktop and your desktop can't interfere with it.
    You can spoof a virtual screen with a desired resolution and refresh rate as the only thing the game sees, and control/resize the output as needed. This can be useful in exotic display configurations like ultrawide or multi-monitor setups that involve rotation.

It runs on Mesa + AMD or Intel, and could be made to run on other Mesa/DRM drivers with minimal work. AMD requires Mesa 20.3+, Intel requires Mesa 21.2+. For NVIDIA's proprietary driver, version 515.43.04+ is required (make sure the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter is set).

If running RadeonSI clients with older cards (GFX8 and below), currently have to set R600_DEBUG=nodcc, or corruption will be observed until the stack picks up DRM modifiers support.

### Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

System, Compiled

### Is the requested package released?

Yes

I may start working on this soon, but I'd like to use those program to run certain programs in isolation from my main system; or games with HDR on an X11 session.

I also think this would be used by many other Void users and would be attractive for the platform to have in general.

looks like they have `-Werror` set somewhere in their build cripts

lol, i might just be one of the first to get it to work on void. i just needed to addend "-devel" to a lot of the meson build dependencies ("libseat-devel", "libXdamage-devel", etc.) worked flawlessly and still figuring out tweaks for the best balance between upscaling.

Using ` -Wno-unused-but-set-variable` to `libliftoff` `meson.build` seems to correct it. I made a patch for that.

```

Sorry to necro this issue but did you decide this wasn't worth maintaining? I noticed you never opened a PR, I'm wondering if there's any issues you ran into before i give it a go?

I don't feel competent enough in c/cpp to patch gamescope in case it needs patching. The template is up for grabs if anyone wants it, of course. I probably should have made it more clear.

can we close this issue, since https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48354 was merged?
