Hi everyone; since maintainers have started switching to Meson for the development cycle (awesome!) I'd like to ask for a favour: if you're dropping autotools entirely, could you please add a `configure` wrapper script that conforms to the build-api[1] that GNOME Continuous uses?
A simple script is available here[2], and it has nice properties, like being able to work with a simple: ./configure make sudo make install which makes distributors and integrators happy. Before you ask: yes, I'm looking at adding Meson support to Continuous, as part of a larger rework of the manifest file to adapt to the Flatpak builder manifest format; that will take time, though, so in the interim it'd be great if we didn't have to ship a patch for every project, when the alternative is simply dropping a script into the project's top-level. Ciao, Emmanuele.
