Originally posted by shmerl View PostGood, that should make things a bit easier. Debian will have to pick it up, it's still using autotools for Mesa build.
Freezes goes like this:
- [2019-Jan-12] Transition freeze
- [2019-Feb-12] Soft freeze (no new packages, no re-entry, 10-day migrations)
- [2019-Mar-12] Full freeze
But if they planning to remove it now, that would certainly be a problem... otherwise there is no reason to be in hurryLast edited by dungeon; 18 September 2018, 05:44 AM.

So yes I agree! Moving to meson means less portability

Here they push Meson because of more permissive licence, they push LLVM same way, you know cos companies hate copyleft so here autotools is planned for execution too SDL changed license once author started dealing with Valve, starting from ver 2.0 also to be permissive and so on... On github there was for years continous silent attacks against copylefted software, many projects were asked (and in a very funny way to me) to just change license so that anybody could use it more easely... and finally Microsoft came by and grabs it all
There are no real inventions here anymore, it is mostly pushing and many tiefs who lie non strop Basically companies paying pusherers who are in the genocide process of killing gnus in this or another way, just like discoverers of america who ignored native people, killed free buffaloes and so on.... as you see this process is very old invention just revivedLast edited by dungeon; 18 September 2018, 09:09 AM.
