Ah, forgot to mention, but, before disabling autotools, I need the recipe for using Coverity with meson, as otherwise we'll have a regression on CI. The final patch dropping support for auto-tools can only be applied upstream after changing the CI to build via meson. So, the steps should be: 1. Version 8 is submitted; 2. Once it pass on tests, merge without dropping auto-tools support; 3. change CI to build via meson and test it; 4. release a new version. I'm in doubt if we should drop auto-tools before (4) or if we should keep support for it for a while. Thanks, Mauro
