The E22 release is out now, so it's time to return to this issue. Currently we have two build systems, and maintaining/updating both of them is not feasible. At present, there is already significant divergence and various features are not present in the autotools build (and never will be). The decision is not whether to remove autotools or when to remove autotools, it's what do we do about old distros.
Based on previous discussions, it seems that there are still some users whose distros do not yet ship a modern enough version of meson. The best option, which is the option other projects which switch to meson have been using, is to simply ship a tarball of a newer meson release along with our code. The other option is to provide a link in the README. I don't have any other ideas. I'll be removing autotools sometime next week, let's try to get some discussion going about the best action to take going forward with this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
