Archlinux (autotools) fails because of 9e9b24c, this check needs to be improved to avoid gi build errors.
Archlinux (meson) fails because gi build errors too, but here the check for newer introspection is missing.
Anyway, i don't know how to do it.

[raveit65]

After rebase only fixing gir for archlinux (meson) is left.
No idea to do that.

@raveit65 I added to this PR the same fix that I did to autotools but for meson. If this works I suspect we should be able to remove the -Dgdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer=false, but don't know yet for sure.

[vkareh]

No. Just tried arch without disabling the thumbnailer and it fails. I put the commit back in place and it should work for all distros now.

The workflow changes are correct and fix the pipelines.

@vkareh this is needed because gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer is replaced with glycin-thumbnailer in very actual distros like fedora or archlinux. false means only that eom-thumbnailer will be built and use by eom.
Hope this is the same behavior with meson.
As a long term code should updated to use glycin-thumbnailer or not......... :)

@raveit65 was it intentional to push the NEWS file here?

[raveit65]

News file was forgotten to update by previous (release 1.28.1) commit and pipeline failed.
Ie. https://github.com/mate-desktop/eom/actions/runs/21240176532/job/61116192246#step:8:3123
and other pipelines.

looks good to me
