fix is still not upstream. Any chance we can have this updated to mutter 3.24.2 ?

@vitriol It is not fix. It is just reverting some change for going back to smooth animations of GNOME 3.22.
New version of PKGBUILD and without need for patch file you can find here:
https://gist.github.com/DeadMetaler/ec2afaed0e5e1a858e505af1cf5eca04
It builds latest version of mutter 3.24.*

Added pkg-config to makedepends https://gist.github.com/misraX/345858426a1a83bcb6173d720d339522 to allow "m4_pattern_allow" as it failed to compile in "arch 4.11.7-1-ARCH" without pgk-config. Thanks :)

Can that still be used with GNOME Shell 3.26.1? Can anyone confirm that it works?

@Hasbreak Yes it works.

I just tried to use the newer one on GNOME 3.26.2 and I get backends/meta-screen-cast-stream-src.c:29:10: fatal error: spa/format-builder.h: No such file or directory. Am I doing something wrong or is this broken now?

Is there a new version for the GNOME Shell 3.32.1?
