Fixes missing gtk3 dependency and closes #103878 because this updates
directly to the last version.

Motivation for this change

Dependency on gtk3 was missing even from previous versions of the package.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Made a stupid mistake... Fix imminent...

go via AppImage to ensure this will work forever onwards as this is
the last ever release

I went via AppImage to ensure the package will work in future releases as well given that the package itself is archived upstream and will not have any further releases.

From the README

As you know Google is going to take down Inbox service.

This project is not maintained anymore. Since Inbox is closed this project has to be closed as well. It just cannot operate normally without Inbox.

I think we should remove it instead.

What is the benefit of that? The program itself warns the user that it now uses gmail instead of inbox and the package will not have further maintenance effort, right?

This project is not maintained anymore. This project doesn't implement Inbox desktop experience, it just used to use Inbox web version packaged as a desktop app. Since Inbox is closed this project has to be closed as well. It just cannot operate normally without Inbox.

See denysdovhan/inboxer#101

What is the benefit of that?

It keeps nixpkgs clean of packages which definitely are not going to work cause they are broken.

The program itself warns the user that it now uses gmail instead of inbox and the package will not have further maintenance effort, right?

The project was about using Inbox as a desktop program which it can't do anymore. It would only make sense to remove it.
