Update: "some more work" is turning out to be more than I want to spend on this at the moment. release.sh's use of git worktrees is confusing meson, such that I can't easily make 'ninja -C _build dist' work. I'm sure that's fixable but we're already way too far down far too boring of a rabbit hole here. 2018.1 release will be built from autotools, we can switch later. > Would anyone have a problem with only making xz tarballs?

It's not hard to wire this up in autogen.sh to magically redirect to the meson build, but until that has a working 'make distcheck' that's not really an option as otherwise you could never release it. - ajax _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
