configure.ac says flatpak 0.8.x only needs GLib 2.40, but it actually uses G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE, which was introduced in 2.44.

I have patched the jessie-backports version to cope, but the patches are fairly nasty, particularly the second one (I had to copy in half of gtype.h):

Assuming you don't like those patches (in your place I wouldn't!), I suspect the best solution upstream might be to just bump GLIB_REQS to 2.44, and then I can patch that back to 2.40 for the jessie backport.

Yeah, i think going with 2.44 is ok at this point.

Bump glib dependency to 2.44
bc84c98 
This is required for e.g. G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE, and most current
distros have this now.

This fixes #622

For distributions that want to build against older glib, see
the issue above, it has patches to make that work.
