Bug Description

The original compton has not been actively maintained in the past couple of years. There's an active fork at https://github.com/yshui/compton which ahs become the basis for the main package in a few distributions including Void and Arch.

It would be great if Ubuntu could do the same.

Btw, I'm able to compile it and run it after installing these libraries:

```
sudo apt install meson libev4 libev libev-dev xcb-dev x11-xcb libx11-xcb libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-damage0-dev libxcb-sync-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-present-dev uthash-dev libconfig-dev libxdg-basedir-dev gl-dev libglc-dev
```

This version fixes a few issues I was having with the old branch. Hopefully at some point I can get these updates from Ubuntu directly :)
