Yes, the intent was to still provide ‘%build-inputs’ & co. for backward compatibility. There are a few build systems where these variables seemed to be mostly unused already, so I didn’t bother reintroducing them; that’s the case of ‘qt-build-system’ and ‘julia-build-system’, for instance. But these are the exception. In the case of meson cross-compilation, it was an oversight. Ludo’.
