Imre Vadász has put together an initial port of Wayland / Weston for DragonFly. You can look at his pull request for dports to see how to install, though I’d imagine this is only for people who like to experiment at this point. It’s still work in progress, as is Wayland itself.

Some news about systemd-things replacement?
to Bruno: Why? systemd is a Linux crap. BSD-init is the best init-system ever.
Wayland? what is that
Bruno – this is a separate software product from systemd.
Bync82 – follow the first link for an explanation of what Wayland is/does.
Justin – I know, but GNOME is going to use Wayland even more, KDE too. And they now depend on systemd-logind and timedated to work.
Bruno I suspect that by the time Wayland is stabilized on Dragonfly, there will be adequate shims to replace the systemd components needed by those DEs. OpenBSD was working on those, I am not sure how far they have come. AFAIK, Xfce won’t need them and Lumina (BSD home grown DE) won’t either. So we won’t be starved for choice.
Lumina still isn’t 100% stable.
That leaves Xfce which many Dragonfly users are using anyway. Its lightweight, fast and gets the job done.
Soup_Kitchen, GNOME 3.16 is working fine on OpenBSD.
