Clutter-gtk Needs GitHub login

I'm trying to install xfdashboard and komorebi, from the AUR. but when I try to install the dependencie clutter-gtk it asks me for my GitHub login to clone the repo. The thing is the files are hosted on gitlab not github and are available publicly. Should I just clone it manually? What's going on here?

You're trying to build clutter-git , not clutter-gtk .

Clutter development was stopped in 2022 , see https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/ .

Try building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clutter, the last release ever of clutter.

There's a comment on the aur page:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clut … nt-1059574

You'll likely need to change the git repo url.

Re: Clutter-gtk Needs GitHub login

The output in post #5 shows you building clutter, not clutter-gtk which was fixed a week ago. All of this highlights the importance of exact output.
