Description:
Trying to build [1], I discovered that Arch's libinput version is too old to build that: $ pacman -Q libinput libinput 0.2.0-1 Clutter appears to be the only package in the official repos which depends on it: $ pactree -d1 -rs libinput libinput └─clutter My request: please enable updating libinput to a more recent version by applying an API fix patch to Clutter. AFAICT most if not all changes are already upstream[2], and a patch which should apply cleanly to the version in Arch is at [3] in [4]. The update will not only allow building toy projects, but will also allow weston and any other Wayland compositors using libinput to benefit from bug fixes etc. Several other distributions are building Clutter with similar patches. Thanks in advance.

Gnome 3.14 is supposed to be released today, and will bring
compatibility to newer versions of libinput. In fact, libinput 0.6
is in the gnome-unstable repo right now.
Today?? What a coincidence :)
