I have ways of creating 3rd party repo's easily, but currently you can
install enlightenment from the openSUSE installer, and I'd like to keep
that at the latest version for each new version of leap, so i'd like e23
or later in Leap 15.2 (about a year away), which will probably need a
reasonably new efl, but will likely only have meson 0.46.0 which is fine
for e but atm not for efl.
There are alot of people using e from the installer, I keep bumping into
them at conferences etc, GNU Health have been using openSUSE +
enlightenment on all there raspberry pi's etc, so there is a significant
number of people using e in this way, and i'd like them to stay
reasonably up to date.
at worst other rpm's can be provided for such upgrades - it's a temporary
situation until the next suse release anyway which should have upgraded
by then... :)
Except it quite possibly will not, its not guarenteed until Leap 16
which isn't really even been thought about much yet.
Leave 16 will fix it. Other projects probably will push a newer meson version
too, not just us.
If susue doesn't want to upgrade meson because it's a requirement to do so due
to bugs in it that needed fixing so efl can build, then I guess suse can live
with not upgrading efl if we're that low priority. If it's important to suse to
upgrade efl then it will be important to upgrade meson too. :) i don't see this
as being an issue when the next version comes out. :)
What bugs are these? and were they fixed between 0.46.0 and 0.47.0? I'm
only asking to go back one version from 0.47.0 to 0.46.0 which is what
were currently requiring for e.
If there is a bug that causes 0.46.0 to fail to build efl then we can
get efl building with the Meson 0.46.0 api, keep the minimum version at
0.47.0 and i'll get the fix backported into SUSE's version of meson then
patch efl to accept the older meson.
But I don't really want to be working with a old e / efl for the next 2
years possibly.
