I think we should remove this package, because it fails to build due to several reasons, and upstream is dead.

I was able to build it by removing the first arguments from the merge_file calls in data/meson.build, here's a patch:

@xotkot Meson changed their tolerance level for inlaid build scripts in a recent release and the Tau editor has a bug in it being highlighted by this (c.f. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/6470#issuecomment-955609422). This needs to get fixed upstream.

I realize upstream development isn't really active and would be happy to apply a patch here, but probably don't have time to come up with one myself. If you see one around the net or somebody wants to contribute one here please shout.

@Krtko Thanks for the heads up. It looks like upstream reposted the sdist upload for the same version. I'll update.

Thank you! I had to replace the dependency libhandy with libhandy0 to compile it successfully. Otherwise it aborted due to missing the file libhandy-0.0.so.
