gi-gtk-4

[juhp]

Well i wish there was gi-gtk4 (and gi-gtk3) - see haskell-gi/haskell-gi#329

But anyway these are the packages currently blocking gi-gtk moving to gi-gtk-4:

taffybar already dropped out of Stackage a few years ago, so perhaps gtk-sni-tray and gtk-strut are less of a worry now.

[alaendle]

@juhp maybe its time to remove all the version constraints and let commenter do its job? My guess is the impact would be acceptable. By doing this we would effectively re-enable gi-gsk and disable gi-dbusmenugtk3, gi-gtk-hs, gi-vte, gi-webkit2, gtk-sni-tray, gtk-strut, termonad.

@alaendle I tend to agree and it probably makes sense - gi-gtk-4 ought to build now in Ubuntu.
The only wrinkle might be whether Ubuntu 22.04 is too old (perhaps haskell-gi bindings are more backward compatible?), but we can try I guess. Otherwise we can certainly do it after lts-23: we could probably rebase to 24.04 then if needed.

edit: Ah I had overlooked termonad: in that case I feel it is fairer to wait until after lts-23
I guess my listing is incomplete and doesn't take all dependents into account...

It would be nice if someone could add newer vte support to haskell-gi (since it exists for gtk4 now too).
