Port to GTK4 and completely drop Clutter dependency/requirement
According to https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/ , Clutter is no longer maintained and will be retired.
- Official announcement: https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/2022/02/16/retiring-clutter/
- GNOME Initiative link: Initiatives#31
In downstream distributions, Debian is treating clutter as unmaintained, and is looking into complete removal of clutter-related libraries.
- Downstream bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/1018126
As a result, I am suggesting gThumb to port away from clutter, or at least make it optional using a switch in meson.build
.
