Timeshift: Building from source fails with vala 0.36.3

[joshirio]

I'm using timeshift on arch based distros from the AUR.
Recently vala was updated and timeshift no longer builds:

Gtk/ExcludeBox.vala:301.17-301.20: error: Argument 1: Cannot pass value to reference or output parameter store.remove(item); ^^^^ Gtk/RsyncLogWindow.vala:167.4-167.22: warning: GLib.Thread.create has been deprecated since 2.32. Use new Thread<T> () Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 21 warning(s) make[1]: *** [makefile:27: all] Error 1 make: *** [makefile:2: all] Error 2 /usr/bin/makepkg: line 729: logpipe: unbound variable warning: package timeshift failed to build, skipping

I don't know what changed by latest vala and I'm not a programmer, so I'm just reporting this here.

Hello:
I've used your app Timeshift in Ubuntu and Mint and now, having moved to PCLinuxOS, I've asked the maintainers to add it to the PCLinuxOS repository.

It seems that this specific issue is keeping them from doing so.

Package deferred until a later release because:
[tex@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa|grep vala
vala-tools-0.36.3-1pclos2017
vala-0.36.3-1pclos2017
lib64vala-devel-0.36.3-1pclos2017
lib64vala0.36_0-0.36.3-1pclos2017

Like the previous poster, I'm not a programmer.
Just another user echoing his report.

I'd greatly appreciate your notifying me when it is solved.
Thanks in advance.
