Re: Proposal: Recommend meson for glib 2.58.0

[philip chimento gmail com]

Before making the switch please be aware of https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3077 and https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2121 which make Meson-built libraries mostly broken on macOS, particularly with regard to g-ir-scanner.

Regards,

On the gvsbuild side we are already building with meson for a while and things are ok. I just fear the case where we do not have python 3 on rhel 6 and sles 11...

With Python 2.x getting EOL in less than 2 years, I suspect that commercial distros will need to provide Python 3 pretty quickly.

I think the risk area is python3 support on some commercially supported
distributions. Although, that is probably in better shape now than it
was a year ago.

Also not a maintainer, but +1 for the switch.
