Hiya, Apologies for any ignorance about the scope and intent of the build API. On Thu, Apr 27, 2017 at 09:45:04AM +0100, Emmanuele Bassi wrote:

As it happens I interacted with this script (in gnome-software) yesterday. I hadn't got a new enough jhbuild - the one I had was trying to call ./configure instead of meson directly. The script AFAICS ignores unknown arguments. In particular, I was interested in passing some --enable/--disable flags to select features but I didn't find out how to do that short of explicitly extending it with those particular options. If you expect distributors to be using this, or if this is interesting for users of the build API, is having some support for ./configure <-> meson_options integration a reasonable request? Otherwise, and this is what happens now that I upgraded jhbuild, using meson directly works fine. But if a goal of this is to smooth the transition path and avoid a requirement for tooling to be updated, maybe it would be useful.
