I still liked to have a Xorg developers' expressed policy about these
points:
- Has the meson framework to provide at least the configuration
flexibility provided by autotools, so that whoever is compiling Xorg
could, in the future, configure it the way it managed to do with
autotools?
[speaking just for the Xserver and drivers]
IMHO (for our cases) yes. But we maybe should upgrade to a newer
version, where things can be a done a bit easier, esp. dependencies
between config flags.
There's still a lot cleanup work to be done here, anyways.
- What to do when python byte-compiling is involved?
Do we have that case ?
*: for this, I have chosen for xcbproto (I know: it depends on another
church) to provide POSIX.2 scripts to search for python and to
byte-compile, allowing to use the scripts also at install time and
allowing OSes not using python (and hence not using meson) to be able
to do things.
Do we really need to do bytecode compilation here ?
IMHO, most distros already have their own generic mechanism. As upstream
we really can't know which bytecode / python engine types and versions
are used on a particular distro/target, so IMHO we shouldn't care at
all, instead just install the .py files and leave the rest to the distro.
