Hello, thank you for all the work on building v4l-utils with meson. On 6/19/20 8:40 PM, Xavier Claessens wrote:
From past experience, distros tend to find many small issues with build systems, especially debian who have tones of scripts to verify what changed in the package: a missing installed file, a missing build option, missing build flag, etc. You can either deal with that and roll a quick point release to fix any issue they could find, or keep both build systems for a couple releases while recommending downstream (a note in ChangeLog) to try the meson build system, making it clear autotools is going away.
I'll try to adjust the Debian / Ubuntu packaging scripts to meson. If all goes well I'm not opposed to flip the switch after we release a new stable version.
Thanks, Gregor
