and then we wait until leap 16 then... until then non-distro supplied rpms can be offered for those willing to upgrade. those not willing to do this don't upgrade. a new meson version is a requirement for efl as meson has had bugs and issues. maintaining 2 build systems for longer than needed is unwise and if anything will result in future lower quality of efl releases. we should only keep autofoo around for as long as necessary (the meson build has not caught up - e.g. windows). if gnome said you needed a newer meson and suse wanted that upgrade, suse would upgrade meson or forego the gnome upgrade. the same applies to us. eventually suse will - probably not because of us but because gnome will push it since we don't matter enough. :( -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
