[SOLVED] Pure Wayland Session Gnome packages
NOTE: This thread is not open to opinions regarding X11 or Wayland. Please refrain from such.
I'm curious if any fellow forum folk have yet built a pure Wayland Gnome DE without support for an X11 session nor Xwayland? This is now possible as of Gnome 47.
I don't see anything in the AUR, hence this thread topic. That's understandable tho given it could be a burden to maintain due to user issues.
Not to be outdone by our friends over at Fedora, I'm thinking of giving it a go (locally, not for the AUR).
I'm in no way advocating for this to be the de facto standard for Arch. Xwayland is under active development.
With Gnome 46 and 47 I've been building mutter with meson_options: xwayland=false. Dead simple and mostly functionally equivalent. But, it leaves all the X11-related dependency bits laying around.
Seems the goal of the thread title could be achieved by modifying just 4 packages (gdm, gnome-session, gnome-shell, mutter)?

Re: [SOLVED] Pure Wayland Session Gnome packages
I'll edit this post with the various PKGBUILD diffs and a couple other changes required, but I've removed the dependency on Xwayland after logging into my rebuilt Gnome 47.1 environment:
$ sudo pacman -Rns xorg-xwayland

Re: [SOLVED] Pure Wayland Session Gnome packages

Remove that | grep gnome and you'll see why I did not pursue libx11 as a whole. 
I'll adjust the phrasing of my OP/goal slightly. There is no longer an X11 session available with the packages I built. This is in parity with the current Fedora 41 release.
The other packages you listed I've either not got installed and/or have no requirement of an X11 or Xwayland session.
$ pactree --reverse --depth 1 libx11 | grep gnome
├─gnome-control-center
├─gnome-settings-daemon
├─xdg-desktop-portal-gnomeThey're all happy in native Wayland. As mentioned in the OP I've been running an Xwayland-less native Wayland session for a couple years now (during Gnome 44 and 45 I used the --no-X11 startup option to block Xwayland in the session... then began building mutter myself for 46 and 47 with meson option).
Also note no more xorg-server*:
$ pacman -Qs xorg
local/xorg-xmessage 1.0.7-1
Display a message or query in a window
local/xorg-xprop 1.2.7-1 (xorg-apps xorg)
Property displayer for X
local/xorg-xrdb 1.2.2-2 (xorg-apps xorg)
X server resource database utility
local/xorg-xset 1.2.5-2 (xorg-apps xorg)
User preference utility for X
local/xorgproto 2024.1-2
combined X.Org X11 Protocol headersEDIT1: Clarified thread title and OP to better reflect goal. Thanks!
EDIT2: A few more snippets regarding package/dependency changes (kinda the whole point of the thread).

Re: [SOLVED] Pure Wayland Session Gnome packages
As expected, using the pure Wayland packages for Gnome's session has been entirely uneventful.
I'll continue building these packages locally in perpetuity unless/until Arch ever defaults to dropping X11/Xwayland from Gnome packaging officially.
warning: gdm: local (47.0-99) is newer than extra (47.0-2)*
warning: gnome-session: local (47.0.1-1.1) is newer than extra (47.0.1-1)
warning: gnome-shell: local (1:47.2-1.1) is newer than extra (1:47.1-1)

warning: mutter: local (47.2-1.1) is newer than extra (47.1-1)Now running Gnome 47.2.
* Note GDM has a few new X11-less-related MRs recently merged, so just building from git head for now until next 47 tag or if 47 is branched.
Marking this as [SOLVED].

Re: [SOLVED] Pure Wayland Session Gnome packages
Gnome 48.0 is now in [Extra].
For anyone interested in running Gnome 48 without X11/Xwayland, here are diffs for the required core packages.
Upstream didn't feel the need to tag a 48 release for gnome-session as there's been no affecting changes since the previous release.
I'll provide the changes required for a pure Wayland Gnome session environment each major release.

Re: [SOLVED] Pure Wayland Session Gnome packages
A side-quest to this x11-less journey and lifestyle choice, I went on a rampage rebuilding most everything GTK-related.
Curious to see what apps would choke on x11-less gtk3/4 toolkits, and bored with the stability of mid-release-cycle Gnome, I got to building.
Mostly a smooth process, only needing to modify code in a couple apps and libraries.
My C skills be dusty (I'm an old K&R guy), so g-s-d, and its aged dep libcanberra, took some doing. wxwidgets-gtk3 was relatively easy to patch up.
Otherwise this proof-of-concept went swimmingly, tho I feel a bit like a gentooee and Greta messaged me, "How dare you?!".

Maybe settle for gnome without xwayland for now ?

Unlikely I'll maintain all these rebuilds (now carrying 36 local packages) moving forward, as it provides no functional benefit.
However...
1) Was able to get a couple gcc-15-compilation-related Arch packaging issues filed and addressed along the way, so not pointless.
2) Found a few areas for upstream improvement/deprecation and have/will files issues in any relevant projects.
EDIT 2025-03-14:
Added gst-plugin-gtk4 and libreoffice-fresh.
Had to whip up a pretty extensive patch for LO.
And those compile times...oof. But, I patched it against both GTK3 and GTK4, each compiled sans X11.
