Not sure myself. > With that, I suggest moving this patch set to CF 2022-07. Done. One thing I'd like to discuss fairly soon is what kind of approach to take for integrating meson support. Most other projects I looked kept parallel buildsystems for at least a release, so that there's one round of "broad" user feedback. In our context it could make sense to merge meson, after a few months of shakeup remove the current windows buildsystems, and then in release + 1 remove the make based stuff. But we can have that discussion that before the next CF, but still after code-freeze & immediate mopup. > A general comment on the remaining prereq patches: We appear to be > accumulating a mix of conventions for how "generate" scripts specify their > output file.
