Hi everybody,
I just pushed https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/46875 for
review which replaces the make based build process with a call to
use meson instead. The rationale is that the project is too small to
warrant having two build systems.
There are likely reasons left to use make (e.g.

Hi Richard,
calm down :-)
Nobody's ripping out anything anywhere, and the only proposed code
change is to rip out the Makefile in favor of meson, and it's far
from settled what will happen to that patch.

You've just said; the bug was fixed upstream already, I'm not sure
what else I could have done other than not make
Hi list,
Personally, I would prefer to keep using Make as flashrom's build
system. It is what most (if not all) flashrom developers are used to,
and has stood the test of time pretty well. However, every time meson
has been brought up, I have perceived little interest on behalf of
meson's
Hi Richard,
let me just say, you worry too much. When I say we can't drop
Make and you say we can't drop Meson, then most likely nobody
will drop either. Also, nobody has mentioned yet dropping one
solution before the other can take over (beside you).
