Hi everyone,

I like tracking the git branch of awesome, but it has recently failed to
compile for me after the switch to lgi:

    gears.surface: Add a version check for lgi

    The cairo bindings are quite new in lgi and thus we depend on a quite
new
    version of lgi. Older versions will fail with lots of weird errors,
e.g.:

    lib/gears/color.lua:61:attempt to call field 'create_rgba' (a nil value)

Some of the dependencies of the lgi code cannot be met at all on my aging
Ubuntu installation.

I can't install the latest and greatest packages available on this system.
Does this mean I cannot run awesome-master anymore?
