Describe the new feature you would like

After upgrading to GNOME 46 on Arch, I am seeing the following error in the Extensions app regarding Vitals:

TypeError: this._menuLayout.add_actor is not a function

How did you install Vitals? Do you have a custom installation or did you modify metadata.json? add_actor is no longer in the current codebase. It was changed to add_child.

I installed via the AUR - I see now it's a few versions behind. I'll go ahead and switch over.

I'm not too familiar with that distribution pipeline as someone else set it up. I was under the impression it was setup to pull from the master branch. Wait, I wonder if that is why, I renamed master to main. Hmm.

Looking at the PKGBUILD for it (cloned from https://aur.archlinux.org/gnome-shell-extension-vitals.git) it seems it specifically just flags v63 rather than using "main". Someone also flagged the repo as out-of-date so at least there's a warning on the AUR page now.

Unfortunately, the maintainer of the package (@WoefulDerelict) seems to be inactive since a few years.
